I would like to slice my waveform into 3 given parts divided by time. I dont know enough about max but I am guessing that I would have to make a copy of the waveform form each 16 second part and save that selection as a new wav so its non destructive? unless you can advise a better way.

So if I am right how do I grab a 16 second chunk of the waveform object.

I dont want dialog boxes popping up I want to pre detrmine the new wav filename in max code.

advice would be appreciated, I only need pointing in the right direction for now.

well I found this on the forum, I wonder if I can convert this to take the first 16 second block, save that as a wav, then the 17to32 second block and then the remainder 33 onward.

Ok Ive amended it so it sets the first 16000 ms. The question now is how do i Loop (loop as in coding sense not groove sense)? first as is with the 0 to 16000 ms then, 17000 to 33000 then remainder?

Do you want to split it in to 3 in order to play the sections separately? Or are you trying to save it as 3 separate files?

What are you trying to do once it's split?

I want to save those 3 sections as separate .wavs. I will have one other process to do on it which will be to add octatrack slices but havnt worked that out yet.

but if I can get the "chain" split out that'll be great.

the original file is a chain from C1 to C6

so 0-16 c1:c2
17 to 33 c3:c4
remainder 33 to end c5

I will need to merge the ideas together my first pasted code allows me to set the start point and move that around the second pasted lot is the bit thats separating out.

I've not done much of this, but if you look up 'mxj buffer' you can find lots of interesting functionality there. And in Max7 there's a js tab in the buffer helpfile that lets you access some funky buffer related things too.
