waveform for setting playback start & end points

Hello,

I'd probably use a line~ play~ combination. Use the waveform start selection
outlet to set the line~ start point, then send the duration (end - start) to
the right inlet, then finally send the end selection point to the left inlet
of line~ to create a ramp to drive a play~ (see the line~ help file).
Something like this:

Hope that helps,
Simon

Subject: [maxmsp] waveform for setting playback start & end points

OK here's my problem -

Ive got a basic step sequencer which sequences samples loaded into the usual
buffer~ groove~ combo. Im using the waveform object to view the sample
loaded into the buffer~. I also want to use the same waveform object to edit
the start and end point of the sample. I understand you can do this when the
sample is looping (i.e. you set the loop min and loop max points). however,
i dont want my sample to loop - i only want it to play when it's supposed to
in the sequencer.

Essentailly, i want to be able to highlight a particular area in the
wavefrom object and for the groove~ object to play that highlighted part
when it recieves a bang from my sequencer. Would play~ provide this
function? Is there a way to set the start and end points of the sample in
waveform when it isnt looping?

I have tried using my current set up with the loop on but the sample
continues looping and sounding after the sequencer has stopped.

Any help would be appreciated
