So I've managed to turn off DSP in sub patches regarding voices in a polyphonic synth I've made, but I now want to do this with audio samples using the [readanysf~] object. I've included a patch where I've tried to do this, so every time the [readanysf~] is triggered with a bang the trigger object turns on [switch~] with 1, stops [readanysf~] (to start sample from beginning), plays [readanysf~] sample and finally sends a 0 to [switch~] to switch off DSP to the window. However when I bang this trigger nothing happens regarding [readanysf~] playing the audio.

My Pd patch is here readanysfdsptest.pd

Any help would be great

cheers

have a closer look at your patch, you are sending message 1 and then instantly message 0 to switch~.. this happens with a delay of 8ms (pipe) after you told readanysf~ to start playback. hm.
so, make sure that you trigger the [1( to switch~ before starting playback.
i dont have readanysf~ installed, but readsf~ bangs out of the right outlet when the soundfile is done. use this to switch off.
