Re: [PD] Max Smoother Audio than Pd?

[Mike Moser-Booth]

>From my experience, I think the main issue that distinguishes these apps is the source material. Csound, for example, comes with a boatload of signal generators, many of which take care of difficult issues like aliasing internally. Though I don't use Reaktor much, it has some nice sounding oscillators. Max has some basic band-limited waveforms, though I don't find them to be that great. You don't get these with Pd; you have to build them. Personally, I find the difference in sound quality between Max and Pd to be negligible, if at all noticeable. .mmb martin.pe...@sympatico.ca wrote: vboehm wrote:point) oha, myth-alarm! max (still) uses 32-bits. Yeah I guess you're right. In the Max sdk docs they sometimes refer to 32-bit floats as 'doubles'. e.g. "The other options are A_FLOAT for doubles, A_SYM for symbols, and A_GIMME,..." but the Max atom is essentially identical to the Pd atom, so it must be a float. Max has an integer atom type (A_LONG) while Pd doesn't, although Pd declares some integer methods in m_pd.h, but that won't affect the audio. So csound doubles version should sound best of all...
