Yes but not with perfect accuracy. You have to make a histogram of the samples (choosing some bin size; that's what limits accuracy) and then array qualtile will do exactly what you're looking for.
I use it for instance to do automatic level setting. I ask for the 90% quamtile of env~ output (in dB) over a period of 10 seconds or so. cheers Miller On Sun, Oct 27, 2019 at 02:46:29PM +0100, Roman Haefeli wrote: > Hi all > > I am having difficulty understanding the output of [array quantile]. > From the help-file it seems it expects an input between 0 and 1, and > also the values in the array should be in that range.
