I guess part of it is also trying to understand the functionality of what peakamp is doing internally. In the case of a peakamp~ with 50ms, is it taking the peak amplitude from all the values received in the past 50ms, or just the peak amplitude at every 50ms interval? I tried making something similar with averaging in Gen, but it didn't work at all.

I feel like I'm possibly over thinking this, but I definitely could use some help from the greats in this case.

Title basically explains it.

signal-rategen-equivalent-of-peakamp~

I adapted the gen~.minmax, max amplitude portion and set it to reset with an internal counter, but the values don't move in the same way a normal peakamp~ does. It seems like there's some sort of gating present in peakamp~ that only outputs the peak values, whereas in my attempt it outputs all the values. Hopefully someone can make sense of this for me!

I thought about what I said after I typed it and realized latch was the key. Peakamp~ and gen~.peakamp seem to be showing identical values at the exact same intervals.

This is awesome! I was just asking about this yesterday. Your solution seems to be working on my end.

if you want to know if peakamp~ reports the current sample value or the maximum value since last report, use audio input of known values and test it. :)
