In the CNMAT Spectral Tutorials, a line object is used to define the instants in time when SDIF-tuples will output data. This works ok for some purposes, but less than ideally for others.

I am trying to figure out a way to make SDIF-tuples output data only at the instants in time when there exists an SDIF frame for that instant in time.

I am under the impression that this is what happens when you use a

line object anyway. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong!

The line object tells the SDIF-tuples to output data in the frame at

instance x, you won't get any other data out apart from what is

already there inside the SDIF-buffer. What is it you want to do

already there inside the SDIF-buffer. What is it you want to do
exactly?

Line outputs evenly spaced points. I want to have, basically, a line where the points only occur at instants in time where there exists an SDIF frame for said instant in time. If the SDIF frames are not evenly distrubuted in time (as they often are), then this line will have the same slope as the line object, but different spacing of data points.

Does anyone know how to do this? The time information is in the SDIF file, it's just a matter of getting it into Max...

Try bline, it outputs a line within a given number of bangs.

But you can not control the line time length because bline

does not know when the bangs will be coming in.

This could work, but not without getting the time location of each SDIF frame out of the SDIF file and into Max as numerical values.
