Hello all,

I am working on a patch that uses a 10-second array to live-sample an audio input. Typically, recording stops when the end of the array is reached. But ideally, I want to do continuous "loop recording", i.e. replace the old audio data with new data on each pass. Is it possible to do this using the vanilla pd objects [tabwrite~], [tabread4~], [array], or do I need to use an external?

Thank you in advance,

-Tim

Hello-

Can anyone explain precisely what the "blocksize" setting does? PD documentation is sort of vague on this one. I am trying to optimize my system for real time DSP, and I am wondering what (if any) effect the blocksize setting in PD will have on real time performance.

Thank you,

Hello all-

So...my soundcard is set to use a sampling rate of 96kHz, and my PD startup preferences are set to "-r 96000". When I send an "open" message to [writesf~], I include a "-rate 96000" flag, but the file always gets created at 44.1kHz for some reason. (The sound is annoyingly pitched down an octave or so.) Is this a bug, or am I just missing something? I have included a copy of the subpatch below, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello--

I know that it is possible for a Paradiddle program to send control data to PD using [netreceive], but has anyone had success in sending messages from PD back to Paradiddle (I assume this would involve the [netsend] object)?

Thank you,
