Hello, I am trying to design a patch in MAX Jitter. My objective is to use an electret microphone with a Teensy to control an X Fade in Jitter. I previously wrote a sketch in Processing to do the same thing, and found some code to create an FFT to alter the signal from a wave form to a "volume" reading. That way I could control the amount of fading (in that case opacity) with the incoming serial read. However, the video quality in Processing was very poor, so I decided to try to recreate the same idea in MAX. However, I have a much more limited idea of how MAX works. I've been able to build the x fader in MAX, and can get the serial read using the serial object, and also by using Maxuino (which I will most likely use), but now I need to figure out how to route that signal into an FFT process. Most of the tutorials I have found for FFT rely on a sfplay object or something similar, which doesn't work in my case since I'm just bringing in numbers.

Any help would be appreciated as this is for a project coming up.
