[sc-dev] In.kr().pow(2) produces negative results

[Ali Rustamov]

In my synthdef I have a part like this:

inctl = In.kr(inCtlBus);
rel = inctl.pow(2);

So for example when In.kr (raw) gets -0.650048 (negative)
inctl.pow(2) gives -0.422562 (negative again).

Odd as it may seem, I believe this is by design. For confirmation, see a
comment on this page by the excellent Charles Céleste Hutchins:

It's to allow you to compress audio signals and still have an appropriate
range. If you definitely need positive numbers then you have to use n*n,
rather than n.pow(2)
