Hi everyone,

I am kind of rusty using pd. I am building a patch in which I need to move the position in a sound file. In Max you can do this using the object sfplay~ and with a message seek.
This is an example of the situation that I want to control. The sound file is playing at one minute, and then I need to get back at 30 seconds. I hope is clear.

I have try in pd with objects such as readsf~ and tabplay~, so far I can't move the position to anywhere.

Thank you

You should be able to do it with [tabplay~]. Just send it the sample number you want it to start on and it should go.

Thank you Maelstorm,

So, I suppose that I have to know how many samples per second is in my file, is that correct?

It will play at the samplerate at which pd is currently set (check the pd audio settings). When you right-click a [tabplay~] object you can open its helpfile which explains the object nicely.

thank you to both, it is working smoothly
