i have samples that i want to show up when i open my patch. i have a loadbang to a read message with the file name after it going to the buffer and nothing appears on my waveform~ when i open the patch. ?????? i dont want to manually have to load 10 samples during a show. how do i make this work?

you probably want a replace rather than read message to buffer~ (this way the whole file is read in rather than only the specified buffer length). other than that what you do should work. Are your files in the searchpath? do you get error messages in the max window? Did you remember to connect (via loadbang) your waveform~ to your buffer~?

how do i post a patch. ive seen these codes for patches but how do you get them and how do you open them if someone sends it? i have a loadbang to replace (file name .aif) to the buffer. max window does not understand.

well, you got spaces and () in your file name... put quotation marks around them: "Lying parts I (aiff).aif"

if that doesn't work I would rename the file to something like: LyingPartsI.aif

have you sent a (set myBufferName) message to the [waveform] object?

haha, neither am I (I didn't look at the patch)!

in your OP you said "nothing appears in the waveform"; you know you have to tell the waveform which buffer to display the conetents of....and you do this with the (set...) message

Problem with loadbang and buffer~!!
