is there a possibility to load soundfiles with a kind of "open dialogue" into an array, so i can choose a file in a sample-library? i only know how to load a file by the [soundfiler] withe the [read( message, but with this method, it's only possible to load one specific file! any ideas?

does [openpanel] do what you want? perhaps a whole bunch of tables and a [route]?

hi, thank you for your reply!
this semms to be possible solution, i used the [openpanel] in combination with the [soundfiler] like this:

[bang(
l
[openpanel]
l
[read -resize $1 array1(
l
[soundfiler]

this works so far, but there is one little problem: the -resize argument in the read message doesn't seem to work now! is there a way to get this to run?
is the $-variable in the read message ok? i'm stil new to pd....
thanks and sorry for my poor english...

how big are the sounds you want to load? pd truncates them at 400000 samples, I think. also, careful the mono/stereo thing.

400000? about 10 seconds.... no, the testet samples were drumloops under 10 seconds, definitely! and they are all in mono, i'm pretty sure.... but i will check this out again!

ok, i found out, what the problem was - the resize argument worked, but there was another external, that needed the correct samplelength - i solved the problem, with feeding the soundfiler output to this module.... thanks for the help!
