@lacuna perfect, thank you

@lacuna ah ok, then I must have misunderstood what the interpolation is about... it might not be what im looking for after all. then I can understand if my question didn't make sense sorry.
Im not sure what you mean that I can read perlin~ directly. Do you mean the audio output? Cause the idea was to loop a small part of the perlin generator, not just use the output directly. The easiest way to do what I want, is to have two waveforms running switching between each other and creating a crossfade between them myself to avoid click then, right? thanks

@lacuna hello... its alright, im not used to using forums, so I guess other people who are on here more are more used to how to ask and answer questions... I sometimes feel that I won't ask here in fear of asking dumb questions and irritating people who know more about it, but I do appreciate people who are willing to help, cause for me this is some difficult stuff... I still like pd even if it's a low-level language, most of the stuff I make works and I find it fun to find my own solutions

I will try to explain my question in more detail:
I started with tabread4~ to be an oscillator with a sampled waveform of the perlin noise generator. Now I want to try to use tabosc4~ as I have an idea that it will work better... What I imagined is that tabosc4~ reads the table of the sampled bit of Perlin noise and I thought the guard points was there to make a fast crossfade between the end and the start of the loop... is this right? Anyways I tried to read how to add the start points and (that is how my brain works) didn't understand how to implement it. I thought you could add some extra samples to the length of the table and it would happen automatically but maybe im wrong... That is about as good as I can explain. Anyways I don't wanna bother anyone more with this, so if nobody is able to help or understand my question, ill just work around a homemade solution, that doesn't rely on stuff I don't understand

@whale-av thank you again... I don't understand the array guard patch, and don't know how to implement it. I have tried to use tabosc4~ instead, because I think its more what im looking for, but I get this message "number of points (100) not a power of 2 plus three"

maybe tabosc4~ is better for this, but I get this message "1202-noise: number of points (100) not a power of 2 plus three". I don't understand what I have to do to make the guard points, or what its asking for...

thank you both for your responses
@whale-av the switch~ is just turning the clone off when its not being used... the perlin~ is the noise source which is being sampled in tabread4~ as an oscillator and the click is happening at every waveform cycle... The resize is for changing the size of the array, to fit the frequency for the waveform. Maybe I should use tabosc4~ for this instead?

Hello
I have made this plugdata device, but I can't make tabread4~ stop clicking. I looked at some examples on this forum, but I didn't fully understand them, which made it hard for me to implement them, so im attaching my patches and hoping someone will help me Thank you
perlin klaver.zip

@willblackhurst thank you! I actually found all your code on that side a couple of days ago. The array zoom file was very helpful to me... although I don't understand how to transfer changes from the zoomed array unto the original one...

I guess a better question would be if you know any place to learn more about manipulating data, datatypes (hex, binary and so on)? I want to get an understanding of the "file/data" side of computers to use it in music and maybe images Sorry if my explanation is unclear, but I don't know much about the topic... thank you

thanks for responding... You need to know the length of the header to specify it when loading raw files with soundfiler... But an alternative to this, would be to forget converting it back to an image for now, and find a way to make cool textfiles (maybe generatively) and then listening to those, or turning them into an image... So you kind of make the source material yourself somehow and then scramble around with it later...

ok thank you very much again... I think it looks complicated so not sure I will understand what's on the site, but will save the link for maybe later Do you know what other applications you can use this thing for except for filters?

thank you very much
The first part looks useful... the fft part is not the same "per-sample" thing right?

Hello again
Another question: is there any way to remove heades for unknown files for soundfiler. Maybe some database shows how long headers is for different files somewhere online or? My idea is to open for example an image file, but not being able to edit the header, edit the file in an array and writing it back to an image file with the same header... basically editing the files in an array but opening it back up as the original file type if possible. Can anyone help with this?
Thanks

Hello
I don't know much about this topic, but im interested in what can be made on a sample to sample level in pd. Does anyone know what different things can be done? I know you can make custom filters, but I was wondering if anyone could point me to a place where I could learn about this topic

Thanks i guess the closest thing is the bandpass filter idea… i actually started with that and thought that it would sound better controlling partials in additive synth instead of a filter… but now im actually unsure what im going for thanks for the response either way

not exactly... was thinking if you have a list of zeroes for example:
0 0 0 0 0
you could crossfade a 1 through the list
0 0.5 1 0.5 1
->
0 0 0.5 1 0.5
if I explained it right

Hello
I have searched on the forum and couldn't find anything
I have an additive synth with each partial tuned to overtones
I want to be able to crossfade between all these partials, but im not sure how
Is there a way to crossfade using a list of the partial index or another way?
Thank you for any help

Hello
I wanna draw a big waveform with lots of details, which I was hoping to be able to do with array, but when I make the waveform big I can't zoom in to make details. Is there any alternatives to do this?
Thanks
