Mr. M

I'm quite new to Max and really hope to find help!

1) I'm trying to build a patch, where you record something to a buffer~, when you hold down the spacebar. I'm using a stereomic, so I would like it to be a stereobuffer. But the stereobuffer has a 'time argument' before the 'number of channels-argument'. This means, that I have to make the buffersize fixed if I want to more than one channel in the buffer - or what? And can I get around it somehow?

2) Is there a way to receive info about the lenght (in ms) of the sample in a variable buffer~?

stereo-buffer-with-variable-size-and-how-to-get-the-size-from-it

Have a look at the [key], [keyup] and [select] objects. They should help with using the spacebar to trigger the recording. The [buffer~] object requires a length in ms so either set one that is as long as you will need or look into dynamically switching buffers on the fly. There are some discussions on the forum about this so have a search around. You might also want to look at the [sfplay~] object for recording. For finding information about a buffer look at the [info~] helpfile.

Thank you a lot for the help! Thanks to you I new got working!

I've browsed, as you suggested, and found this help

If there is no argument, the initial time interval is 5 milliseconds. Any argument less than 5 will be set to 5.

Stereo buffer~ with variable size. And how to get the size from it.
