Hello.

I am trying to build a sound filer that allows me to play WAV. files from the hard drive. I have cracked everything I need except how to play the WAV files at different speeds and durations. at the moment if I want to do this (ie play files at a different speed) I have to retype the message box every time.

Ideally i would like to use slider that I could then use midi to adjust in real time.

I have looked at several granulators like Grain's and particle chamber b ut I really don't what I need to look for. I am still new to this.

I have attached an example of my soundfiler.

any help much appreciated

For some reason It wont let me attach files. F**k

this is a stereo loop player, and as you can see can play at different speed forward and backward... maybe this can help you
cheers

thanks for the looper, i can start to see what I have to do.

However, and this is what is really beginning to piss me off about PD.

your patch works fine, I can change the speeds etc with sliders and line no problem.
I can add to it and i can take stuff out. great.

but

when i try and build one from scratch with the exact same objects and number boxes
It wont work. when i look for the last error [soundfiler] turns blue. so for some reason that is not working. I have no idea how this is and i'm beginning to think I am missing something in PD.

note: [soundfiler] works any other time.

hope someone can help

did you hit "peview" after attaching the file? this will delete the file. please try again, it would be much easier to help, if i could take a look to the file.

I'm wondering, did you set the send names of those bangs on the left when you copied the patch? That was something I didn't pick up right away when I started Pd. Right click/ctrl+click on a gui object (such as bangs) and you can name the built-in sends and receives. This allows you to send the output of the object to a [receive] object (and vice versa) without a patch cord.

yes, maelstorm is right ...
my patch has some hidden send and receive into the bangs, check the properties to see them or just connect the bangs with the wire in place of the [r] objects...

Hey.

I got it in the end. basically the patch had [loadbang] attached to a [f $0]. this obviously wasn't initiating when I copied and paste the patch.

I just attached a bang to the [f $0] and [soundfiler] picks up the WAV. file no plroblem. thanks for the help.

Super player. What about to set start position and unlimited play. it somehow restarts Maybe somebody could explain, why $0 is used for send receive symbol. It seems to work without it?

Key.

$0 is used because this is meant to be an abstraction. $0 gets replaced with a unique id, so you can use multiple instances of it without cross-communication.
