Hi..

I'd like to find a way to read a soundfile directly from disk using readsf~, but to specify the starting point of this file for playback.. ie read from 20 secs in instead of always from the beginning. Is this possible using readsf~ or another object? I have been looking at some older threads and realise that this has been an issue for a while. I know that this is possible using the sfplay~ object in max/msp.. is there an equivalent in PD that can do the same??

Thanks in advance for any help..

From its help:
open filename onset

where onset is its starting position in samples.

thanks saturno!! I wasn't sure about the onset in the help and so stupidly didn't investigate further!!!! Cheers all good now..
