i'm fairly new to the whole max/msp experience, so maybe my question is a little bit stupid.

I did the wavetable tutorial, loading a sound file into a buffer~ and then using it with a cycle~command.

When I load a new sound file into the buffer~ (via read message) the cycle~ still sounds the same, I have to start max completely new to change the sound. Is that normal? Or is there something I'm missing? Do I have to tell cycle~ to "refresh"?

As I understand you have to resend the "set" message to the [cycle] to read the buffer again.

Also, keep in mind the set and setall differences.

thank you for your help, it worked. Should have kept reading the documentation ;) Using a lookup~ command (connected to the buffer~) between the cycle~ and the *~ also seems to work.
