Alright, came upon this through a very complicated method of trying to modify the osc~ object in one of the modulation samples with the output of an array. Then I accidentally connected the recorded array of a siren sound directly into the right input of the *~ of the ring modulation and it actually worked, but is really fuzzy. Has anyone done this where it is more clear so that you get a sound file modifying the adc~ information?

adc~ readsf~(or tabread~)
| /
*~
dac~

It is either really simple...completely impossible...or just a really bad idea, I think.

I had thought of slowing down. If I smoothed out the waves in a sound file using something like sound forge so that they had a basic shape would that work? I'll try that as well...weekend project.

Is there a better way to go about something like this? I was thinking that it would be cool to get the hint of like a power tool recorded sound when running an instrument into pd. I see the crossfading possibility, but I wanted something that kind of works like the modulation so that I could easily transform it to a weird vocal patch without adjusting all of the settings all of the time.
