Thank you very much, i have no idea how i missed turning the mlsecs to secs before turning them into samples.
Out of curiosity, why would it require more work to start at non 0 samples? I added the division with 1000 in my original file (in which the plus object is used to calculate the ending but not always the last sample) and it seems to be working fine by setting the starting sample and the duration. Am i missing something else?
In any case, thank you

pianos-by-jtwayne-7-174717.wav GRAIN CREATION.pd

Hello everyone,
I have a little experience in PureData and am trying to create a make a pd file (GRAIN CREATION.pd) that can be used to create a singular grain. In order to test it, I decided to have the whole buffer be read (from start to finish in the duration of the wav file it contains). Theoritically the whole wav (pianos-by-jtwayne-7-174717.wav) should be played, but only a very brief sound is heard and then it quickly stops. I suspect something is wrong with the pack item and the message with the 3 variables, but i just dont get what... Could anyone please find what's wrong?
thank you in advance,
Marios

thanks a lot for your help guys. Based on what you said i think i finally got it (kinda wish our professor had actually shown us the stop object though ). Here is the program

@seb-harmonik.ar could you please explain about including a reset of the metro in the random selection, thanks

First of all, thanks a lot for the answers. Unfortunately, our professor told us that we can only use what we showed in class, which only includes: bangs, metros, triggers, randoms, toggles, number boxes, messages, prints, dac~, osc~, phasor~, mtof, and the different arithmetic operations (+,-,*,/). My main problem is how to restart the process after each ring of the metronome (for example, after the metro rings every 500 mlsec, it keeps ringing at that pace)

Hello, i am a beginner at Puredata and i was assigned an exercise about the use of metronome.
The exercise says: that after every ring, the metronome must have 50% chance of ringing after 500mlsec, 25% chance of ringing after 200 mlsec and 25% chance of ringing after 1000 mlsec. I have made a few possible answers (at least i think) but i have no idea if they are correct. Could someone tell me if it actually does that? Thanks a lot
