    Hello fellow Max programmers, I wish you all a happy new year!
    Now, I know that [waveform~] works exclusively with [buffer~], but is there a way to have a waveform display for [sfplay~]?
    Thank you, Yiannis

      Hi as I understand it, the fundamental difference between the two objects means that [sfplay~] can't display a waveform GUI as it is reading directly from disk in real time. Why is [buffer~] + [play~] unsuitable?

      ps, there may well be a way to display a GUI representation of what is currently being played, using fft analysis and/or Jitter but waaay over my head bro :) https://cycling74.com/forums/waveform-display-as-a-circle
