readfolder message problem with polybuffer~
Mar 20 2013 | 11:22 am
Hi,
so I have that 12 slots sampler working quite ok: sampling, playing sounds perfectly.
My only problem is when I use writetofolder and readfolder:
let me explain: that sampler is the engine powering a 4 x 3 midi carpet. You record 12 samples, then you can replay them walking on the carpet.
WHen I save a samples set with writetofolder, the files are stored in a folder with no problem at all, but when I reload them with "readfolder", they're loaded but in the opposite order of what I want: Instead of having my samples from 1 to 12 assigned to my carpet slots 1 to 12, they're loaded from 12 to 1.
I've noticed that clearing twice the polybuffer~ could improve that, but it's still very random... and I need it to be perfect.
any advice ?

- Mar 20 2013 | 10:47 pmThanks for the example. The problem is that the polybuffer~ gets the name ordered alphabetically so tapis.1.aif is followed by tapis.11.aif, not tapis.2.aif. I attached a way to fix it in the patcher by loading each file individually in the alpha numerical order.
- Mar 21 2013 | 11:36 amok thanks a lot !so I guess if I rename my buffer like this: 01, 02, 03, and so on, it will fix the problem as well ? am I wrong ?Thanks for the trick !
- Mar 21 2013 | 2:04 pmYou're correct, but writefolder doesn't write the files with this format. It might actually be easier to save the files directly in the correct format.
- May 16 2013 | 9:20 amoh ok I get it. crazy you need to make such a subpatch just to get the files in the right order... max/msp is really disappointing sometimes, especially when you're more a musician than a programmer.
