Hello, I was wondering if there is any object like groove~ that will work with mp3 files?

I did a search, but came up with didley squat.

It would be really nice if there were some sort of external or device that interfaces groove~ to mp3s, or interfaces mp3s to work with groove.

mp3-playback-in-msp

The groove~ object references a buffer, yes?

Perhaps you might want to have a look at the

manual page for the buffer~ object to see if

there's a way to import mp3 files into a buffer....

Thanks, I probably should've mentioned that I've checked the documentation already. Yes, the groove~ function works with a buffer~, which can handle aiff, sd2, wav, and a couple of other things, but not mp3.

Still, a search for just 'mp3' yielded no search results...

and, well.. it still doesn't, so even if the topic has been brought up before, 'mp3' is for some reason voided as a search term..

That's a bummer. If anyone has any references or anything, I'm all ears.

My search of MSP45ReferenceManual.pdf (for v4.5.5) produced its first

hit on page 75... within the buffer~ section. Which documentation did

My search of MSP45ReferenceManual.pdf (for v4.5.5) produced its first
hit on page 75... within the buffer~ section.  Which documentation did
you check?


I hadn't read all of the documentation on the 'input' message to buffer~ though. i suppose that may do what i was hoping, though i'm skeptical about conversion time.

it's still weird that searching for mp3 on the forum doesn't yield any results though...

seems like the load time isn't tooo bad....

Occasionally, something isn't in the forum because

people found the answer before going online to ask.

yeah, ok, so some people rtfm better than me, but why doesn't this thread show up in a search then?

could be an indexing delay i suppose, but that seems rather unlikely.

I don't think that's quite fair; it _is_ stange that

it doesn't show up in a search, and I know that the

question has occured plenty of times, because I was

Googling ".mp3 site:cycling74.com/forums" -> 915 hits.

Googling ".mp3 site:synthesisters.com: -> 752 hits.

So someone has asked the question before ;-)

I don't think that's quite fair; it _is_ stange that
it doesn't show up in a search, and I know that the
question has occured plenty of times, because I was
searching for it myself not so long ago.
Searching the forum for mp3 or .mp3 -> 0
Googling ".mp3 site:cycling74.com/forums" -> 915 hits.
Googling ".mp3 site:synthesisters.com: -> 752 hits.

Perhaps Wally might be able to comment on wht the
forum search doesn't find it, though ?

Because the forum search is a shit. It never works, for nothing, gives 

you only 2 answers where you know there are dozens... It'll never 

replace the old googling style for the old archives.

This is the way how to load mp3 files into a buffer:

First send the message "import 0 -1 1" to a buffer~. A file selector appears where you can choose the mp3 you want to import. Once it is loaded, you can play it with groove~ or play~

I only search with Google site:synthesisters.com, there is even a max 

patch to search the archives or maxobjects. I found the search function 

within the forum not functioning at all, but never bothered as Google is 

fine for me and I never visit the forum either...

The forum search seems to have never been tested, because very obvious 

expected search results don't show up. (I did not test it for a long 

time, but your findings confirm that it still simply doesn't work...)

I'm sure you know this already Stefan, but to clarify,

searching synthesisters.com will only search the old

archives; the forum archives are at (surprise,

surprise) cycling74.com/forums, so Googling both these

sites is probably your best bet, (eg. "mp3

site:cycling74.com/forums OR site:synthesisters.com").

AcidSearch and you can make your own toolbar search

Should say if I'd use Safari, but I run the web with Firefox. There is 

also Rollyo which allows to create customised search engines. Mine is 

set to synthesister, cycling74 and Maxobjects...
