Hi, I have just wirte a simple patch to record my guitar and play it emmediately after automatically. I used fiddle to detect a note that triggered the bang to start recording and again to stop it at the same time it turned tabplay~ on.
The patch worked fine the first day but didn't work at all on the next. And I did not change a bit of it!
How can I use tabwrite~ effectivelly to record my guitar on a table and play it immediately after?
Thanks in advance

I don't know why it worked the first time, but it probably shouldn't have. The

Thanks a lot. Is it possible to do that at the same time I am 'sending' information (the recording of my guitar) to the [tabwrite~]? I mean, should I specify a random number of samples to initialize it, or have to compute new numbers at any seconds?
Thanks again
Bests for you

You can use the [resize( message to change the number of samples in the table.

But, depending on what you're doing, it would probably just be easier to just start off with a

Hi.

I made something in this direction.

[resize $1(

*** in fact, it is connected back to the first send box

This way every change in the notes message resizes the table.

But when I change from inserting pitches manually to reading from a txt file, it does not work! I mean:

[read notes.txt(

*** in this case, it returns 2. I suppose 1 for 'read' and 2 for 'notes.txt'

[-1] *** to take away the first 0 of the message

[resize $1(

*** in fact, it is connected back to the first send box

How can one feed a table via [read file.txt( and work with it as a list indeed?

All the best,

The [read( message is going straight to the table, and it is the table that understands the message and loads the file. [list length] is just getting "read note.txt" as a list, so you're just resizing the table to 1.

In order to get the size of the list in the file, you'll have to load it into [textfile] first. Then you can read out the list out of it, get the length, and put it in the table:

[read notes.txt, rewind, bang(
|
[textfile]
|
[t l l]

|

| [resize $1(

Also, make sure you're using [t ] to ensure everything executes in the right order. The way you have it patched, you can't tell for sure whether the table will be resized before the file is read.

Thank you once again, Maelstorm. It works just fine!

Keep rocking,
