Hi hi
ummm
yeah I'm new and stuff...
so hi...
anyway

I'm using bonk~ to break apart a drum loop into it's constituent parts
and then write each resultent hit to a new array so I can play around with them.
okay soooo....here's my problem.
How can I increment the array name so I write each hit to a different array
i.e
1-sample
2-sample
3-sample
4-sample
etc...

I'm trying to do this so far using [tabwrite~ $1-sample] and then incrementing $1 but it doesn't work or something. maybe I'm just doing it really wrong.

any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

This will do it.

Cheers,

Domien

Hi
thanks
I tried to use the patch you attached but it doesn't seem to work (although this is most likely my fault).
I guess the aim of the patch is that when you change the number at the top it should designate which of the three array's you will write to. Then you choose a frequency for the osc~ and click bang to start writing to the array and stop to stop. however there doesn't seem to be anything written to the array (i.e showiung up on the graph). Also, and this might be me again, the array that is being written too never seems to change number ( it's always [tabwrite~ 2-array] no matter how much I change the float input)
ummmmmmm....
please help me

sorry for being a pain in the ass

Don't forget to check the "compute audio" option in the main pd window, otherwise the [osc~] object won't produce anything at all.

yep
that's what I did. boooo to me.
I'm sorry.
Could you explain why the tabwrite bit always says [tabwrite~ 2-array] even when it's writing to other arrays (1-array, 3-array). why isn't it just like [tabwrite~ $1-array].
again I'm sorry if this is a silly question. I'd just like to understand it better.

Thanks again Domien

Iain

The unchanging 2-array in the [tabwrite~] object is just its creation argument. So when just loaded the tabwrite will always write to 2-array, when you change the argument via e.g. a message that value does not (visibly) change, only internaly.

I've added a second version of the patch which empties the table before recording and displays the actual recorded time.

Cheers,

D.

Thank you lots and lots

Iain

the behaviour of $1 is different for message boxes than it is with objects / externals / abstractions.

for objects / externals / abstractions it is value that is predetermined by the creation argument.

but for message boxes it is a dynamic value that changes when you input data into that message box.
