i am pretty new to pd and am making a looping sampler that takes in audio from adc~ and automatically loops it... however, I can only seem to loop the first second of my sample regardless of the length of the original sample. I know I must be overlooking something, so any help would be great. Thanks!

Check out example B.08.sampler.loop (in Help>Browser>Audio Examples) and the other examples provided.

assuming you have a samplerate of 44100hz, then try lookign through your patch for objects, tables, arrays or messages containing the number 44100. this is the amount of samples in 1 second of audio. you will need to make this number bigger if you want more than 1 second.

Along the same path of reading array's.
Heres my question- Is it possible for say once you have imported a wav file into an array you get the drawing of the wave form etc....but is there a way for pd to automatically read the length of the imported file and produce the length eg time in seconds of it in a number box ?
Hope that makes sence.

the outlet of [soundfiler] will give you the length of the sound in samples. just divide this by 44100 to get the time in seconds.

there is also an [arraysize] external that will tell you the size of the array in sampels when banged.

Since were on the topic, is it possible to find out the samplerate of the loaded file, because i still work with a mix of 44.1 and 48 files. The division by 44.1 is actually the division by the current pd samplerate, right?

there is an external called [soundilfe_info] in the iem library, but it doesn't seem to like my .aif files. works ok with .wavs though it seems.

Thanks hardoff, works fine here with .wav files.

cabin2j,
did you ever resolve this issue? I am having the same problem, and can't seem to get out of it...playing around with example b.10 and can't get the phasor out of 1 second cycle...

edit: example b.09

the array in the example is only 441003 samples, so it's cut off at one second. If youse guys are looking to do "phrase sampling" , like in Ableton, try using [delwrite~] and [delread~] instead.
