Hiya guys,

Wondering if anyone can help me.

I'm throwing the output of a [readsf~ $2] object to a [catch~] in a separate abstraction and I'm getting this error message:
error: catch~: no method for 'symbol'

(The $2 in this instance is in the title of the abstraction)

As far as I'm aware [readsf~] outputs audio rate signal, not a symbol, right?

Other information which may or may not bare relevance:

• The [readsf~ $2] object has a [1 ( message, a [symbol $1] object and an [open $1( message going to its inlet. ($1 in this instance is the title of the abstraction which is the path and name of the soundfile I need it to play.)

I'm so stuck! Any ideas?

Thanks for your help!

The output of [snapshot~] is not audio rate. You should try just getting rid of that and connecting [readsf~] directly to your [throw~] (though I don't think [snapshot~] should be spitting out symbols...).

Heya, thanks for the response!

Whoops, yeah I only put that [snapshot~] in there as a desperate attempt to try anything! I've taken it out, but still the same thing.

Is there another [catch~] somewhere? Post the patch and we'll be able to help you better.

There are a couple of other [throw~]s and [catch~]s around, but I'm pretty sure it's this one that is causing the problems because when I delete them the error message stops.

Here's the patch, but please let me warn you that it's very messy and far from finished!!! To make the playback work, drag 3 samples into the folder called 'My-sequencer'. The samples must be called the following:
K.wav
HH1.wav
SD5.wav

Lemme know what you think...

Alternatively just load samples by pressing 'load' under the sample selector H-radio sliders...
