[maxmsp] Re: pfft~, send~ and ASIO driver

What is inside [pfft~] is processed in another audio signal processing chain than what is outside. This is why it is not recommended to use [send~] and [receive~] to cross the time/spectrum barrier. Rather, use inlets and outlets of [pfft~]. If you want to go in/out of a pfft~ without making a FFT/inverse FFT to the signal, use [fftin~ nofft] (argument nofft).

One thing to think about is: with an overlap of 4, the "sampling rate" inside the pfft~ is twice the sampling rate outside (OK, this is not a sampling rate, let's say the rate of information on signal MSP connections), so what happens to the data when you use send~/receive~?

For the same reasons, it is not recommended to use [send~] and receive~] to cross the barrier of the [poly~] object.

That said, I don't know more about your specific problem with the sound card driver and crashes.
