Polybuffer with 2 channels

Hi!

The title says it all. Does anyone knows how to specify the number of channels for a polybuffer (and for the groove object that goes with it) ?

Thanks!

If you load a folder of audio into a a [polybuffer~] object, it will flood the various buffers with audio, mono and stereo.

If you want the [groove~] object for the buffer to output stereo channels, simply specify that with an argument in the object box.

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

For example, if after loading a folder with various stereo audio tracks into a polybuffer called "mybuffer", the [groove~] objects might look something like this:

sorry if this is a completely stupid question but how do you get the data you pasted from your patch back into a .maxpat format that I can read?
I tried copying your code into text edit, saving it as blah.txt, then changing the file extension to .maxpat in finder but max gives me some funny errors when I double-click on the file:

error parsing patcher file Polybuffer.maxpat;
parsing object: line=1, char=3, text='...{\'

Any help greatly appreciated!

just paste it straight away in an empty max patcher
