depends how you define «nearest». multiplication-wise, 92 is closer to 128
than to 64, because 92*92 64*128, whereas addition-wise, it's closer to
64 because 92+92 64+128.
Hardoff* has actually :-) Uses bonk~ and works bloody well.
*is there a link for that somewhere?

so 10 would give a result of 8,
53 would give a result of 64,
etc..

ah don't worry. the bitwise operators in pd correspond exactly to the
process in that wikipedia article. couldn't guess it would be that easy.

may as well post the patch i guess. actually it just gets the NEXT power of
2, not the nearest, but that is fine for my purpose - which is to decide how
many slices to make in a sound file to cut it into individual beats.

Hi,
one could also use
expr pow(2, int(log($f1)/log(2)+0.5))
which takes the dual log, rounds that to the nearest integer and
calculates the dual power again.

This might be silly, but here are three abstractions I made a couple
years or so when I was learning...
the nearest one defaults to the higher value for numbers halfway between.
