Hi there,

I'm having headaches trying to figure out a (stupid ?) problem in a patch I'm working on, and I thought maybe it would be obvious to someone here, who knows ?
Basically, I'm working on my own MLR-inspired patch for monome grid. It's a sample cutter that accesses 16 start points in a sample loop.
Where I'm struggling is at "inner loops". The idea is that when you hold a first button and press a second one, the file loops between these two points. If only one press happens, the whole file loops, starting from here. It works but the playhead "jumps" when the end point is pressed. This is what I want to avoid.
I guess something should be corrected in my [scale~] patcher, or something like that.
I also tried to hold the second press into an [f] and trigger at the end of the [phasor~] loop (using cyclone [edge~] and [onebang]) but no luck.

Here's a patch to illustrate the problem.
Any help would be awesome.

Cheers,

Louis

@chapelier-fou Try something like this.. ..... ending.pd
"only once" should read "only once each time the endpoint is reached".

Thanks a lot for the answer,
I've been trying to avoid this type of solution, precisely because I felt that the timing won't be accurate. I'll be playing several loops on top of each other and I suspect that this will cause loop drifting. In your example, each loop will have an error of up to 10ms, right ?
I'd love to stay with signal only. But maybe I'm wrong ?

@chapelier-fou Sorry, I misunderstood and did not look at your patch.
There is nothing wrong with your logic...... the problem is that when you set the max you multiply the [phasor~] output to [wrap~] and so it jumps to that new value.
There are logical audio objects as well, and [samphold~] that can hold a signal value and output it when a [reset( message is received.
Time for bed now, but maybe someone else will solve it while I sleep.
David.

Here's another attempt showing another approach. It works almost as expected except that it waits one whole loop to settle the inner loop. My understanding is that my routine to bang on loop bangs on the beginning instead of the ending of the loop ? I feel like it's close to be working but I can't wrap my head around it.
