Hello I'm a new user. I tried PD-Extended some years ago then abandoned and now I 'm trying again with Vanilla.

I want to upload a file .wav in Vanilla to read it and possibly modifying it. I made this easy patch:Screen Shot 2017-10-13 at 11.09.22.png

but in Vanilla it opens the file but doesn't read it.
Tried same patch in PD_Extended and it works.
Can't find the solution. Anyone have the same problem?
Thanks

@grgdrs Hi and welcome to the forum and Pd.
The patch you posted works for me in Pd vanilla 0.48, but do make sure DSP is on before you play the file.

Thanks for replying. Sure DSP is on. Don't really know where is the problem. I will try again and see what happen.
Thanks again!

@grgdrs You can try and load the sample into a table and use [tabread~] or [tabread4~] instead as a partial workaround. Besides, since you wrote you'd be looking at modifying the sample as well, [readsf~] doesn't allow you to do that and just plays the file as-is.

Thanks again, I tried and now seems working on Vanilla too.

I'm learning now what tables are because I'm trying to create a Looper. Such an infinite amount of notions in PD.

By the way, in case you know, do know where to find basic Live Looper patches to begin with? I found a couple on the Internet but don't work, or at least I'm not able to make them work.
Best

@grgdrs I don't know of any specific examples but I'm sure if you search the forum (or google) for it you'll find some examples. You might consider also using [delwrite~] with feedback for making a sound-on-sound looper, since now the object has a clear option so that's handy. But it can also be done with tables, it really depends on your specific needs.

Hello @grgdrs

i heard you need a looper, made this one for you, it works writing a local .wav file, i don't know if it is compatible with Vanilla (i use Extended) but i think it's going to, it works also with tables and you can even reverse your loop, it doesn't have GUI, but give it a try to my Looper.pd

Hope it helps

Thanks to both of you. I will try the next days, as soon as find some free time, and let you know.

Hello @Greener I'm trying out your Looper and it seems working. The only problem I see is that there is no possibility to delete a loop. So it's like recording a new loop over the previous loop and so on. But maybe i don't see this part of the patch, like a "clear" button.
In other words: let's say I make a loop and then I want to delete it and make a new loop (everything in realtime) how can I do?

Also, are the recorded loops automatically deleted, or are they saved in some folder?

Thanks for your kindness and patience, I'm a newbie

Hey @grgdrs

I added the clear button, and an "autosave" function, every different loop is saved on the same folder as "loop$1.wav" with a different number every time you push "Start recording", but every time you reset the patch it will restart the count, so it can overwrite your loops, be sure of move those you want to keep or you are going to lose it

Thank you @Greener, I will try this soon and let you know!
