fl.tomax~ drops frames?

This may well be an error of understanding, or my build is wonky or something (built off GH last week). In the patch below sending vectors that contain occasional impulses through fl.tomax~ doesn’t seem to give me reliable results, insofar as my impulses get lost:

The zl syntax you used doesn’t work as you expect (setting the maximum list length to 8192) - so lists are truncated to 256 values.

[zl 8192 sum] does what you want - can you check and let me know if that fully fixes it?

For the dot syntax you probably want to use [zl.sum @zlmaxsize 8192]

:man_facepalming: Derp. Yes, hadn’t even noticed I’d used the dot version. Sorry.
