Hello All,
i am working on a project where the wind triggers samples and the speed at which he samples are looped is controlled by the wind.

right now i am reading the wind velocity just with a microphone and an [adc~] object and using [snapshot~] to get the numbers, which are multiplied and go the [metro] which opens and then plays, with [readsf~], the sample. the data from [snapshot~] also goes to the metro to control the speed.

my problem is this: as the speed constantly changes i think the [metro] re-triggers the sample and it sounds all choppy, and i want the sample to play all the way through before the speed is adjusted.

any ideas?

thanks in advance!

readsf~ is static speed i think (at sample rate) - I don't think you 'll be able to adjust playback rate. Also it is reading from disk, not memory, and if the metro restarts playback AND opens the file, then there is going to be a small delay, which accounts for the choppy sound.

You might need to rethink your patch here. Look into using tables and [tabread4~] to do what you want. You will have a lot more control with playback, direction and switching tables w/o glitch

let us know how you get on
