I have an sfrecord patch I've been using to capture mutil-channel sound. Here's the patch:

number

comment

umenu

button

adstatus

loadbang

live.gain~

message

radiogroup

ggate

adoutput~

sfrecord~

number~

textbutton

prepend

I've since changed the "mother patch" to be able to dynamically create multi-channel mixes from 3-10 channels. If I select say 5 channels now, the above patch would actually capture 10 channels... This wouldn't work right playing back on a 5 channel monitoring system.

Is there a way to dynamically set the number of sfrecord~ channels while at the same time retaining the gain links to all 10 channels?

I "partly" answered this... I tried using nchans.... BUT when you dynamically change the channel numbers the connection cables are destroyed and don't return... :-( Anyone know a way around this???

why don't you use bpatcher and reload recorder patch depending on

as you use adoutput~ routing is not a problem

why don't you use bpatcher and reload recorder patch depending on
number of  channels?

bpatcher needs scripting name, like rec-order  then you send


Many thanks! This did the trick... :-) It does seem a bit messy though having to create 8 different patches, but I'll take it because it works... lol

And for others that might be on this path, here's what my code looked like:

I had an empty bpatcher in the main patch with Scripting Name "widget_recorder". Then I created 8 different patches with the different amount of channels for sfrecord~

When I saw your post this morning, I thought that would maybe be possible using

all that fancy mc.xxxx audio multichannel stuff.

But at the end at least to me it seems impossible to

tell mc.sfrecord~ or whatever packs the input channels into it to

Or am I wrong ?
That's why I suggested bpatchers.

I can't resist to reduce the code a bit


Thanks for the optimized code! :-) Do you want to look at all my messy patches? :-p

or a poly~, each voice has different number of channels, then you select the right one to use.

sfrecord~ dynamic input number w/ gains attached?
