It seems I need to specify a place where the actual wav data is being held wich is absolutely logic or else I would have no sound whatever that is not the point I have trouble to understand how to specify sample directory when you use a soundfiler object any help would be nice thanks to read anyway!!!

To specify a file, most people use something like this;

[bang]
|
[openpanel]
|
[read -resize $1 array1[
|
[soundfiler]

Otherwise, place your patch in a directory with sounds and they should show up in your pat, so you can do;

[read -resize mysound.aif array1[
|
[soundfiler]

Hey,

I'm having a similar problem, I'm trying to organise a lot of samples (over 100) in several directories (for the sake of sanity). The problem is, that this is for a college submission so if I hard code in a directory (/User/Documents/.../.../sample.aif), then if the project gets put on another machine it won't work. Is there a way I can tell soundfiler or a similar object to open files one or two directories from the main patches location? Any help would be much appreciated!!

When you use relative paths you can store everything in a folder of the patch itself, so it doesn't matter from where it gets opened.

If you send [read -resize samples/sample1.aif( to a [soundfiler], just make sure you have a folder called "samples", in the folder where the patch is opened, which contains a sample called "sample1.aif".

@boboprod: don't forget to put an array in you patch first, either via the "Put" menu or via a
