hi guys,
i guess this is pretty basic but im trying to build a sampler that allows me to load and have basic control (i.e. volume, start & end points and pitch) of a sample or mic input & also to effect it in someway weather it be delay, reverb, timestrectching, etc.

where should i start bearing i mind i hav limited experience with pd? also are there any decent examples of existing patches that would be worth a look?

thanks

have you ever looked in pd->help->browse->3.audio.examples->D10.sampler.notes.pd ?

in fact the hepfile contains a lot of examples, you could copy, modify

If you're looking to build a sampler in the classical sense, this will be more difficult.

However, much of what you're describing can be accomplished most easily in realtime. Destructive edits such as "normalize" can be done using standard tabread4~ messages. Read the help files for tabread~, tabread4~, phasor~, and vline~. With those components, you can build your basic sampler very easily.

As for destructive resampling for timestretching, reverb, and delay, this could most easily be accomplished by doing it in realtime, sampling the output, and using that resample as the sample input.

Let us know of your progress. When I get home I'll post a few of my basic samplers for you to look at.

yeh i think its not gonna be a sampler in a classical sense i agree that would be alot more complicated, ive got to the point where i can load up my wav. now i want to be able to loop it which ive tried via metro~ with the sample length in msec. im sure theres an easier way to do this or at least a way of reading and outputting the length of a loaded sample in msec because before i just inputted it which is obviously unpractical if loading different length sounds.

Thanks for your responses guys

i hope it will help you
an example of a loop player, not perfect but fun to use
