@lacuna yes!!!
that is very elegant, and works perfectly. Thanks so much!

ah ha ok thanks!
so is there no way to find the number of files in the patch folder without the full path address? -

Hi! I'm hoping to be able to find out the number of audio files in a sample folder from within a patch. I sort of assumed that the new [file] object would enable this, but I can't see how to use it. Any tips?

@60hz I'm late to this thread but I only wanted to say that your help files look completely amazing, particularly your help-intro.pd! I've taught Pd in a lot of different ways and I can absolutely see that being extremely helpful to new users. well done!
this is a very wide-ranging discussion, but it's great to see a vision of an approach to some of these issues. -

oh ok, I got it. pretty confusing to see a different number in that size field! thanks.

I've generally used the sinesum message to create a simple sinewave array without issues. usually I just make an internal message like [; array1 sinesum 2051 1(
however I get unexpected behavior when I try to make a smaller array. for example if I say [; array1 sinesum 511 1( then my array will get resized to 259 instead of the expected 511. similarly with [; array1 sinesum 255 1( my array will be resized to 131.
have I been misunderstanding how sinesum works? or is there some basic math going on here that I just don't grasp?

Is there a way to dynamically change the argument for [clone]? For example, if I have a clone object called [clone synth 16], can I somehow within the patch change it to have 20 instances rather than 16?

@seb-harmonik.ar that's brilliant, thanks so much! so far it's working perfectly.

Each time I load a sound into an array using soundfiler that array will automatically have the "save-in-patch flag" cleared. I know this is normal behavior, but sometimes I don't want that to happen. So is there a way of setting an array to save the contents with a message of some kind? currently to do that after loading a new sound into the array I have to:
- right-click
- select "properties"
- tick the checkbox for "save contents"
- click OK
- click OK again for the other array properties window
this feels needlessly tedious. have I missed something obvious? maybe a flag for when I'm loading the sound in soundfiler? or is there something I can do using the [array] object?

Has anyone worked out a way to get a Raspberry Pi launched and running a Pd patch really quickly? For me it always takes around 60-90 seconds or so, and I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to speed it up.
