class:: PV_Conj
summary:: Complex conjugate
categories:: UGens>FFT

description::
Converts the FFT frames to their complex conjugate (i.e. reverses the sign of their imaginary part). This is not usually a useful audio effect in itself, but may be a component of other analysis or transformation processes...

classmethods::
method:: new
argument:: buffer
FFT chain.

examples::
code::
s.boot;

(
b = Buffer.alloc(s,2048,1);
c = Buffer.read(s, Platform.resourceDir +/+ "sounds/a11wlk01.wav");
d = Buffer.alloc(s,2048,1);
)

(

	var in, chain;
	in = PlayBuf.ar(1, soundBufnum, BufRateScale.kr(soundBufnum), loop: 1);
	chain = FFT(bufnum, in);
	chain = PV_Conj(chain);
	// Original is left, conj is right
	Out.ar(out, 0.3 * [in, IFFT(chain)]);
}).play(s,[\out, 0, \bufnum, b, \soundBufnum, c]);

	chainA = FFT(bufnum, in);
	chainB = PV_Copy(chainA, d);
	chainB = PV_Conj(chainB);
	// Now we have the original and conjugate, what happens if we add them?
	Out.ar(out, 0.3 * (IFFT(PV_Add(chainA, chainB)).dup));
