hi all,
im trying to get the silhouettes tutorial patch to trigger a sound file and am running into a big headache. ive tried a bunch of different ways to connect the sfplay~ but can't get it to work.
there has to be just one little thing im not paying attention to so if anyone knows what it is please enlighten me! thanks!!

your patch never sent anything to sfplay~ to tell it to do anything. you need to send it a "1" to play the file!! make sure you read a soundfile with the open message. the rest should work fine now. also doublecheck that the 0.005 is a good number for a threshold.

damn! i knew it was something simple.
im pretty used to midi messages and never really played with sfplay~ until now! thanks a ton!!! and .005 works just fine for a threshold
