Is it possible to play a specific channel of a buffer~ using play~?
Hi forum,
I have a buffer~ with many (64+) channels. I want to have a selection of play~ objects in the same patch - that can playback specific channels of the buffer~ (ie one plays channel 4, another channel 25 etc..) but this seems to be not possible. Can anyone confirm?
Alternatively, is there an easy way to convert a multichannel buffer~ straight to a polybuffer~
Thanks,
Mark
Gen supports multichannel buffer operators (linked to buffer~ objects, naturally), and you can certainly write a gen~ patch whose operators address individual channels when fetching data for output (it's set by argument). Perhaps you could try that.
Thanks for the reply Max. I've not used gen~ so much before, but perhaps now is the time..
I'm essentially wanting to replace mc.play~ in a patch, so I have a multichannel signal for all my sample positions (a phasor~ scaled up using mc.scale~). So in gen~, should I try with wave, take the phasor~ into the first inlet, and then route the start and end points scaled up to samples, and the channel in the last inlet of wave?
Funny - I just ran into this problem again and found my own question....
This was relatively simple, and here is the solution for anyone else encountering this:
The patchcord from top left is loop sync from groove~
[mc.wave~] can do it too and I just tested it in production context and it works perfectly.
