hi,

i want to match the length of a live input looper to that of a sample loaded and being played back. so my live input loop syncs to the same length as the sample being played.

i want to take the size of the array from/put through the soundfiler and set the length of the live looper (which use delwrite~ & vd~) to the sample length.

how can i best access the size of the array set to the x-range (uses read -resize $1 array)? And send to the length of the vd~

thanks

drew

[soundfiler] outputs the number of samples loaded. So, just convert that to ms based on the sampling rate for [vd~].

Frema, I don't think that a cost effective mail solution will help bonehead with array sizes.

angrybirds3, your proposed method of splitting one bird into 3 small blue birds to focus on blocks is ok unless your array indeces go over 1024.

I would suggest that Maelstorm's is the most handy way, of the three proposed.

thanks for the help - i'm still having trouble with getting the numbers properly . I've attached a screen shot of the issue i'm having (just the start of creating a patch).

The output from soundfile into the number box keeps displaying as a strange number e.g 1.4112e+06. This also shows the same in the canvas properties, but as a correct number i.e 1411200 in the array properties.

I've checked against the soundfiler help file, which also has a number box directly attached, and works - (also attached), and can't see where i've gone wrong exactly.

any ideas greatly 'preciated...

thanks

and here's the helpfile i looked at

Just so everyone knows, I really didn't delete any spam. Honest. sunji is just talking crazy.

those numbers are the same- the 'e' is short for 'x10^' or "this many zeroes after these numbers". it's called scientific notation iirc. but you should be able to pass that integer and everything that accepts ints will take it, 'e' or no.

o, and millenium hand and shrimp, bugrit.

thanks, my comprehension of science notation lacking... obviously.

at least sunji speaks more relevant than spam, not crazy to me. Far crazier things go on if you ask me...

thanks heaps

have got this working fine now, thanks... but,
I would like to calculate the size of the sound file being played when the left or right limit are moved - so that the live looper can stay in sync with the sample - any idea?

thanks

here's the patch so far bit of a mess at this stage, but i'll clean it up when working
