hi,
a basic question about looping tables that have material in them from a live [adc~] inlet:
I have been playing with the audio examples and modified one to take a contact mic input, but I can't get my head around the [phasor~] object and the role it plays in the loop. Most importantly, how is the frequency of the loop altered so that the entire table plays? I have seen some post on here asking this question before, but haven't been able to solve this or find an answer. I am new to Pd and really appreciate any help, and I have attached the patch I am working with (modified from b.09)
thanks again for any hints or directions at this.

edit:
was playing some with this and thought I should clarify some things;
I know this patch looks a little jacked up, and that there is something important in the multiplier that I need to get around, it is just a study patch..
Also, my main goal is to be able to record 0 to 2min of sound and loop it..pretty simple, but presenting problems for me.
thanks again.

Phasor provides an audio rate index normalized to 1. The frequency of the Phasor determines the period of the playback; 1hz = 1 second "ramp" which starts at zero and ends up a one. In order to playback arrays with more than one sample, you have to multiply it's output by the length of the array. If you have a one second sample you multiply the phasor's output by 44100 (44.1k samplerate) to play it at normal speed.

also, you can use this patch if you want to change to length of your loop without resizing the table. here I set the table to 10 seconds. the [threshold~] object bangs at the start of the [phasor~] cycle, and later on the phasor is being pushed forward 1 sample with [+~ 1], so you're always writing to the table right behind the reading. it's also sending the output back into the [tabwrite~] at 99% feedback, so you can layer things over time, or, turn the loop time down for psychotic delay! = D

Nice use of threshold~

Thank You!
