thanks hard and claude. i will try both of those things. also. is there anyway to speed up the loading time of the arrays? it seems to take a good few minutes at the moment? where can i find iem16 ? I see that it's not in iemlib, or am i missing something? 2008/7/24 Claude Heiland-Allen

okay. i found iem16 at ftp://ftp.iem.at/pub/pd/Externals/ (duh! the giveaway was the iem bit). it seems to run okay on my windows machine. but is the only way to load something into the table16 object by copying from a regular pd array? i'm trying to patch up a scratch pd array which every

okay i've found a neat way of loading all the files into the table16's using a makefilename loop. my problem now is that i can't seem to play them because my player patch needs to know the size of each table16 when it calls for it. i've tried using arraysize and the expr size($s1) objects but

or, maybe a pitchable table16 reader that automatically loops back to the start upon reaching the end of the table16?? again, thanks. 2008/7/24 Solen Music [EMAIL PROTECTED]: okay i've found a neat way of loading all the files into the table16's using a makefilename loop. my problem now is

i would assume that the size of the [table16] tables would just be half of the original tables that soundfiler creates.. so, if you have your [table16] objects indexed with integers (and i guess you do if you have 1400 of them), then you would just take the original array size, halve it, and then

I'm looking for a way to shrink the RAM usage in my live patch. I'm currently running a patch for live usage which has 14 x 100 stereo audio arrays. and 14 x 20sec variable delay lines. there's also 3 vst plugins (compressor, limiter and tape style delay). the GUI isn't too busy, there aren't any

instead of arrays, use [table], that should help a fair bit. ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
