Thanks I will give that a go...

you could also load one big soundfile into a single array and, depending on your button pushes, start and end the playback at different points.

oK here is what i have put together i think its getting there just a few small problems to iron out... can anyone help me with this patch

TO loop them, route the right outlet through a spigot and back to the left inlet. the right inlet bangs when the sample is through. As far as only one playing, that would take some trickery. tabplay~ only stops when told to, so you would have to send it a message when another one is banged. I'm not used to this way of thinking anymore. honestly, I gave up on tabplay~ a while ago and now pretty much only use tabplay4~ for looping.

Here's it replaced with [tabread4~] but to do loops this way you need to get the length of the table and use that in the multiplier for the phasor. It's monophonic by design because [tabread4~] can only be reading one table at once.

This works great...

Thanks obiwannabe.. good stuff

This is great the loops load fine when you hit the symbol box.

However i need this patch to take in messages from another patch that is connected to a Nintendo Wii.

So when the user hits the left and right button they will be able to jump from loop to loop.

i haven't a clue how to accomplish this..

I have tried using radio buttons and a host of others methods i feel like my attempt below is really close but their seems to be no help file on the hradio button..

Any suggestions on how i could fix this patch below?

In the attached zip file you find a fake wii remote patch - it actually uses the keyboard left and right arrow buttons - plus your loop patch with the necessary stuff to move the hradio according. Both patches communicate via the and [r] objects.

Hope this helps.

Thanks very much this was a big help.....it is browsing through the horizontal radio panel perfectly.. my next step is to figure out how to get the radio panel to control the symbols.... but i should be able to figure it out.... i feel i'm getting closer

thanks again
