hi ulrich
ja. (there is not so much coincidence around)
in pd there is an object called moses, it's function is to channelize :)
input according to the parameter, so if you say moses 20 for example, all
numbers below 20 will go through and out of the left outlet, 20 and higher
will come out right...
what you call dilemma i see as - of course forseen - development, that
will just work as a kind of 'moses' with the parameters of quality. so i
welcome this 'dilemma' with full heart. 
i wish you good luck for the small thing and a lot of happy represented
soundfileproducts...
aloha
moni
