Hi I'm wondering if editing parts of existing opcodes is possible? 

I ask because there's been a couple of times over the past year or two where
there's been an opcode that does exactly what I need except for say one or
two things (e.g. Temposcal doesn't use a time pointer). I was thinking it
might be easier to edit the existing opcode rather than find a work around.
Is this really involved or straightforward? is this something that should be
avoided or is this done quite often?

Any thoughts? Thanks a mill!

As a general rule if an opcode can me extended to do more with just
optional args then it should be changed in the main sources.
If an opcode can be improved but needs additional args, then a new opcode
with similsar name should be incorporated

At least that has been my guiding principal.

I woud prefer to make improvements available to all, eventually

If you need a time pointer, use mincer instead of temposcal.

Cheers John, cheers Victor! Mincer is perfect thank you!

Victor, just one question on mincer and tempscal: Is there a huge difference
in the way they work individually and also versus pvoc?

Comparing the three with the same source file they all sound slightly
different. Mincer and Tempscal sound pretty similar (though slightly
different) but both sound different to Pvoc.

Is it possible to reproduce the sound of tempscal and mincer using pvoc and
vice versa? is it just a case of getting the fft size settings right and
using a particular window in pvanal or are they working in different ways?

Thanks a mill!

Mincer and temposcal share the same algorithm. It's slighltly different than pvoc, so there will be some small differences in sound.
There is an opcode, pvstanal which shares some elements of mincer/temposcal and could sound closer to it.
