having some trouble here starting soundplayback with the [groove~] object.

play forward: give speed (signal) followed by starting point (number) (works as expected).

play backward: giving the speed (signal) works once, after that it has to be played forward at least once for it to work again. starting point "0" of course doesn't work; do i need to create a workaround to know which sample to start on? should be possible but it'd surprise me if that's needed. i suppose what i'm looking for is the order and content of signal and messages into [groove~] for backwards playback.

when looping is on, speed affects playback immediately in both directions (as expected).

i tried with the helpfile and with chris muir's patch (message #143609, thread "My sampler is not working!").

i'd be very grateful if someone could enlighten me on this one.

groove-confusion

You probably want to post an example to get better feedback but your going to have to do one of 2 things if you want a one-shot reverse playback with [groove~]. so with looping off use [bufferinfo](or whatever its called) to set the playback location to the end of the sample or with looping on you can leave the start location at 0 and then use the "phase" output of groove to stop the playback when you get to the "beginning" of the sample.

also sorry for not posting a patch myself, but im at work.

thanks a lot! that did the trick, patch is working now.
