I'm having some issues loading a lot of files at once into multibuf. I've batch renamed them to get rid of funky characters, tested to see if they were corrupt and verified (and tried changing) the file path. Thing is that I get errors in the max window that say:

The error I get seems pretty general, its not from a print object it is max complaining that:

however I can read that buffer fine into a buffer~ manually.

Sounds like a multibuf scripting problem... maybe one of the CNMAT guys has a recommendation?

Hmm seems to work when I specifiy the excact file path. Does max's file path structure only see one folder down? In other words does it not see subfolders? Mulitbuf seems not to work when the samples are in a subfolder of my file path.

I renamed the files so they contain no spaces or ungodly characters... Still seems like multibuf chokes when it is given a path that is in a subfolder

hmmm i edited some of the audio and things seem to work now... not sure what the problem is here anymore... could've been something other than multibuf although it sure seemed like it at the time. I will post again if i keep encountering this problem, right now, things seem to work.

I had a little look at the cnmat multibuf abstraction since I have made something similar. It seems to work in a similar way with scripting and so forth but has fewer/different features. I hope it's not off topic to mention it here. I'd appreciate any kind of comments you may have on the way it works etc.
