Hi

I've successfully loaded soundfiles to a homecooked pd sampler using the soundfiler object, but I've had great problems writing the content of the output array to a soundfile. I think my problem is that I'm not composing the 'write' instruction to soundfiler correctly. The reference pages give a message with the following content for wave files '-wave -nframes 10000 /tmp/foo2 array2'.

Maybe I'm being really dense but I can't figure out what 'tmp' and 'foo2' are doing here: are they the names of the folder to be saved to and the file name? When I try to save to the sound folder in pd I just get the message 'no such file or directory' coming up. Do I just need to type in a more detailed filepath?

I've just installed pd vst which I intend to use with Tracktion. The readymade plug in examples seem to open fine in the host application, but I'm unclear about how to generate new pdv files so that i can use my own patches as plug in's. Joseph Sarlo's help page mentions the creation of pdv files but does not provide any step by step account of how they are actually generated from existing pd files. Am I missing something obvious here?

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Best wishes,

David

Ah - I seem to have figured it out. I've just preserved the same syntax for 'write' as are given in the help file for 'read'. No need to respond.

Thanks Mat,

I think this becoming clearer in the light of the documentation.

best,

David
