hi,

I'm looking for a way to append (and possibly prepend) samples to an existing array which already holds data. I understand that this would require extending the range of the array to accomodate the new samples, but exactly how I should go about this is somewhat problematic for me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

jack

create a broadcast message [; arrayname resize 100( to change its size

thanks andy,

I already have a handle on that part (extending the array length) but if I proceed to write to that extended array with a tabwrite~, then wont I just replace all of my existing data with a new sample of the extended length? What I'm attempting to do is craete a sampler that writes audio slices to an array which continually adapts to the incoming recorded audio by extending its length? Is this possible.

as far as i know there is no way to set an offset using [tabwrite~], so in real time, i can't think of a way to do what you want.

but, a workaround for this problem is to write the new slice into a second array, and then use tabwrite (not tabwrite~) to append the data.

attached patch shows the basics of this, but if you can find "all_about_arrays" in pd's reference, it's really useful.

with the last version of miller's pd 0.40 you could add an offset to tawbrite~

like [start 44100(
to begin the recording from the 44100th sample in the array

ah neat! you can do that in 0.39 as well, but there's no mention of it in the documentation. thansk for the tip koala!

yes thanks a bunch!

that solves my problem.
