Ksound

OK I posted here on the other day and I thought I had my issues solved, but I was wrong. Basically what I need help with is lets say I have 3 buffers and they referencing to a play or groove object which receives a set message in which file to play, and a counter is used to move onto the next set message and play the next file but I want it to be able to move to the next message based on the length of that audio file without having to compile a list and typing in the duration. I need it to dynamically receive the file lengths duration upon loading and once it plays that file it automatically moves on to play the next one and takes account of the new files duration and uses that time for when it will move onto the next. Basically what I need is what sflist~ does for sfplay~ but I need to play from RAM. Any help would be much appreciated

Calling all Max/Msp Masters. please help


Use info~, name it the same name as a buffer~ you're using, attach it to the right-most-outlet of buffer~ so that whenever a sound is loaded into the buffer~ it will automatically generate the info needed, then take the file-length out of info~'s appropriate outlet and calculate from there.

Here's an example showing just three buffer~'s outputting their info. automatically using info~ on load-up of soundfiles so you can apply to your situation:

Ya I know about info~ and tried that, I guess my question would be what to do after that or what would be the best way of passing that info on to process the play next file because I tried having that duration time from info go to a metros right input and have that going into a message saying next and having coll with my sounds in a list telling which one to load but for some reason the transition from one sound to the next would cause it skip over the 3rd sound or the 2nd sound would not play all the way through or it wouldnt play the sound from the first sample

Not sure, however, why you need to get durations and use a counter when you

can get sync output from a groove~ to detect the end of a signal and so

trigger the next sound in another groove~ while you replace the sound in the

inactive groove~. (see patch below for the sync detection)

You can also use a line~ to mark off duration more accurately than a

examples/sequencing-looping/audio-rate-sequencing-looping directory in

MaxMSP (fairly advanced, but can put you on the trail).
