Now i'm working on recreating a footsteps patch, from Farnell's "designing sound" book.

And in PD patch i found this object [+~ 1e-05].

The argument is making me a big question: Could anyone, please, tell me what kind of number is used in such form?

The convention of using 'e' (or 'E') to indicate a power of 10 is as old as computer science. You will see it in many, many places.

It's not a stupid question, it's just that the answer will be useful in many circumstances. There are still many people who use it for very large (and very small) numbers.
