hi all,

i'm trying to create a patch that chops up pieces of music and rearranges them. tricky thing is, it chops in at random places and for random intervals (to make things simple, this could be 125ms, 250ms, 500ms, 750ms and 1000ms) and as such i'm having a hard time getting the patch to loop.

can't get metro to work for me as the patch needs to run before it can tell metro if it needs to be 125ms or 750ms or whatever, kind of a chicken-egg situation.

i've looked into using env~ and threshold~ to trigger the patch once the current sample section has finished, i.e. there is silence. how can i get env~ to reset to zero when it's getting no signal? it just seems to remember the last signal it got before silence!

thanks,

Thinking I've got the right end of the stick; I've knocked up a quick version using tabplay~. It's pretty much the same otherwise (need to change sample back to what it was) you could definitely make it a bit more efficient for the sake of moving things around as your idea develops.

brilliant, thankyou

there was a reason i used tabread instead of tabplay, although i really can't remember why now. tabplay seems much more suited to what i'm doing with the handy bang output, didn't realise it could do that!
