..i did it myself,the answer is 39 samples

this is ripped from something else. you'll have to make your own envelope follower.

i find it hard to believe omx.peaklim~ is 39 samples, but hey. i agree that info should be in the documentation.

good luck

Just curious: does that also change with the sample-rate?

@stkr : thanks a lot,i will try to get an envelope follower done...and let you know if i get anywhere

@peter mcculloch: heres the patch i wrote for checking the latency "manually".either theres something fundamentally wrong with my patch,or omx.peaklim~ does work with 9 samples latency in "punchy"-mode or 39 in "smooth"-mode. (9 samples is really fast,he?)

hi STKR,

et voila::

...i didnt think it was so easy.i am not sure about how it sounds yet,but it does the job. (at least up to an amplification of about 100x ,har har) can i submit this as a tool?

For latency tests there is a nice patch in examples/latency-test Choose "delay line test" and replace the [delay~] with the object/patch you want to check.

cheers, jan
