If you look at the bottom right corner of the waveform display there is an instance number that is unique to each granular module that you pull into a patch. The patch within names the buffer <instanceNo>_buffer, i.e. 1234_buffer if the number in the corner is 1234. You can use a regular record~ object to write to it.

Also- maybe this is an awkward approach- but you can set the buffer length by creating another buffer~ object in your patch with the same name and sendin it the setsize $1 message.

Thanks for your response! Ive been trying to wrap my head around this before responding but I still don't get it. The 4 digit number part I understand but no where exactly I place it. Do I write it in with the record~ object ?

Kamau, have you seen how to open the help patches by option-clicking objects (alt-click on Windows) When the patch is unlocked?

Morgan I have checked these help files. I could have sworn one of them told me what I was looking for but I couldn't find it again

Doubleug thanks for sharing that. Im gonna study it now and see how you modified the patch,something i didnt know you could do with Beap objects

Cheers

Hey Kamau, I didn't realize that the #id doesn't save with the patch, face palm. You've probably got it by now, but the name of the buffer~ can also be used as the first argument of a record~ to point to that buffer~. Sorry for the delayed reply, been traveling.

DoubleUG, nice solution!
