I do not understand how to set the length of the memory in this object (record~).

i want to record at least 2-3 seconds in memory.

for record~ to work you need a buffer~ object into which to record. the argument of record~ is the name of the buffer that you want to use. the length of the recording is dependent on the length of the buffer. So if your buffer is 2000 msec long you have 2000 msec available for your recording.

okey i understand, but how do you set the length of the buffer then?

Either with an argumet at instantiation [buffer~ somename 3000] or with the "size" message: "size 4000". The number specifies the length in milliseconds, if you want to use samples use the "sizeinsamps" message. You can find all the information about an object by clicking on the reference page link at the top of the help file.
