    Hello, I need to have the numerical amount of the variation in a numerical data stream, i have the left hand movment data coming from kinect and i want to use the velocity of movement for setting the volume of a sfplay. so the faster i move the louder the volume
    i've try to see in the old posts but i can't find.. is there any way? i hope the question is clear, my english in not so good . many thanks carl

      Hi,
      you might want to have a look at and experiment with my [sadam.stat] object (see https://cycling74.com/forums/announce-the-sadam-library-version-2012-10-08 ), which will give you the mean, standard deviation, minimum-maximum values and the element count of a data stream. However, I'm not 100% sure that it would be a real solution for your problem, which might be better solved with some sort of a 'compute the incoming differences and smooth it out' approach.
      Hope that helps, Ádám
