I am trying to build a sound file looper that starts with the openpanel object, then feeds inte open $1 message. I I retrigger the open $1 message nothing happens because the variable value got lost, probably. How can I store it?
any suggestions kindly appreciated. 😀

@Poplinski Put a symbol box after [openpanel] and before your [open $1( message. The output from openpanel will be stored in the symbol box, and you can retrieve it by banging the symbol box. Here's something similar using soundfiler:

Or use a [symbol] object and store the output of [openpanel] in its right inlet, if you don't want to use a GUI symbol box.

@Poplinski ......... Or.........
It can be done with only messages..
