anyone ever looked at Extras-> Example Overview -> X.player?

this thingy has a front interface showing the waveform AND most important a bar that shows the current position in the sample when its played…

thats what i need

for now i set my buffer in a waveform~
this shows me the waveform inside, but as far as i know yet, i can only control the starts and ends of the display..

my guess is that i somehow need something that shows me the current position in the sample and then send this value to or something like the waveform~

iam sorry that all i do is ask questions here, i looked around in the forum but there is nothing asked that i know wich isnt already answered Sad

thanks for your time

If your patch plays a buffer, then you know the current position. then you only need to use [waveform~]‘s “line” message to display the position.

BTW, I suppose you know you can edit the X.player example and look for yourself how it’s done. But I must admit it is not the simpliest patch to study (although it is very interesting).

Good luck.

i dont know what you mean with i know the current position…
cuz i dont^^

the line message needs a float to draw at the current position…

Here is a trivial example (if you use a phasor to play, you may need to add some math, and get the sample’s length with [info~]).

well i did it with an sfplay -> snapshot~ that sends ms informations to the waveform… it works exactly like i want it to.. think is you cant loop as good as with an groove~

This may give you some ideas:

i got i now…

by the way.. is there a way to see where (in ms) the grids inside of the waveform are placed?
