Ok Pd lovin' people,

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

Casper

Ok casper,

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.

Ah yes thank you for breaking it down for me, my brain had given up at that point! I've got it working well now though cheers
