What, lp.scamp~ doesn't count as canonical?

Sorry, Peter butfree is not quite the same thing as included. Firefox 

is free, but as long as IE is setup as the default for people's web- 

browsers, there's a certain portion of the audience who will never 

download it, even though it does offer lots of cool features and is 

generally more secure. I think that by adding it to the canonical

There are three versions of the same object on MaxObjects.com 

(f0.scale~, tap.scale~, lp.scamp~, and I wrote an abstraction version 

called PM.Scale~) so it seems like something that enough people may be 

using. This is something that is so useful for doing LFOs, etc. that 

it really does warrant being in the canonical distribution.

But the question didn't read "included", nor "free". It read "canonical".

So the question reduces to how you define "canonical". While you're at it, you might want to define "is".-)

Lp.scamp~ is on every Max install that I've worked with since July 2001. That's more canonical than one or two objects coming out of Clementina Street. At least in my book.

Mileage will definitely vary on this one.
