im a bit new to this, but how do u get maxmsp to reload the samples you want to use in a patch?

im aware that they need to be in the same folder that the maxmsp file is saved to, and also that a load bang has to be used, but i cant seem to get it to work.

ive also tried typing in the open object the name of the file, but it simply wont work.

buffer~ and play~ objects is probably what you need 

I don't know exactly what you want to do but you can check them on reference manual

hope I helped...


I tried downloading your patch but wasn't able to get it to run on my computer (problems with losing the filetype i think).

it's a little hard to tell what you're after without an example... can you try saving your patch as text, and then pasting that text into a message to the forum? You'll get better and more useful feedback that way.

You were on the right track. This edit of your patch works for me. Make sure that the audio files exist in the Max search path. I used names of some files I had laying around.

if you're using a buffer~ object to store audio you may want to use the ever-friendly 'readagain' message to reload that particular file.

Or even easier, select all in the unlocked patch, and then paste 

I can never read these attachments, seem to be an MIME/Type issue with 

providers, some can read them, but even more can't...

If you have several related patches, you can also zip them, zipping 

keeps the files intact as well, but its so much more hassel to deal with 

If I shall look at a patch, I usually don't want to store it on my drive

Or even easier, select all in the unlocked patch, and then paste 
directly into the mail body...
