I am working on a project where 5th graders work with PD. Does anyone know an efficient way to make a normalizer patch that I could include so that they don't blow out their ears?

thanks

This abstraction, [punch~], is a crude but effective leveller. You need [z~] and [limiter~] from Zexy.

This could be what I'm looking for but [../init/df] isn't working. How do those [..] objects work?
