Hi there! I have seen some tuts teaching how to record audio from PD, when you have a sound been generated from a osc object for exemple, in a .wav file. The tutorial link the DAC object to a writesf~object to generate the audio recorded file in the computer hd.
My question is : if i want to record a sequence of sound events that were not generated by osc or sintesis but they were generated by openpanel object? for example i have a patch that turns my pc keyboard into a piano with .wav files for the piano notes being played when i press the computer keyboard keys. In this case i do not have some audio coming out from a DAC object. How can i record with writesf~object the sound, (the .wav. files) addressed by open panel when i played pressing the keyboard. i want to play some notes of the piano and record that note sequence in another .wav file in the computer hard disk.

thanks for any help!!!
Regards!!

press some keys using the key press objetc.

@tmarcondes Unfortunately if the sound is not being generated by Pd then Pd cannot record it (write to file).
You will have to do the recording externally....... unless using windows in which case you might see "stereo mix" as an input option for Pd (once activated in the os).

If you want to use Pd [writesf~] with Linux or osx there might be an equivalent "loopback" option. Otherwise as mentioned in that article then using a mini-jack >> mini-jack cable to loop the sound back to a [dac~] object will be the only option, but you might not be able to hear what you are playing unless you have a 4+ output soundcard, or you use a splitter cable to an external amplifier.

@tmarcondes I think there is a fairly earsy way to do what you want. See attached patch. Maybe something is not working, i cannot test right now. Concept should be right I think. key-sampler.zip

@Johnny-Mauser Now i can do it . Thanks for the help!!
