snapshot~

This patch shows different ways to receive and generate numerical values using MaxMSP. 

This patch demonstrates one way to create a sinusoidal pattern of numbers in Max.

Similarly to the sample and hold object sah~, the snapshot~ object can be used to capture the amplitude of a signal at a specific instant.

How do we detect, with sample-accurate precision, the precise moment when phasor~ begins a new cycle from 0 to 1? We need to detect the sample on which it leaps from 1 back to 0. However, because phasor~ is constantly interpolating between 0 and 1, it might not leap down to exactly 0. So we can't just use a ==~ object to see when its value is 0.
