Im blundering my way through my first pd patch and im having a bit of a problem implementing something....

I want to have a bank of 4 loop recorders which record for 16 `beats` (a beat being a counter controlled by a metro cycling from 0 - 15)

Basically I`m wondering whats the best way to store the information? I want to be able to go between 60 and 250 bpm. Is it easiet to just have an array which stores up to 12 seconds audio (for 60 bpm) and just adjust the length which is read by a tabread~ object?

( i certainly did. )

its definitely useful, even as an example! i`ll plop it into a patch with a simple synth and have a play.

hmm
im seeing the matrix but im not getting any sound . .
MATRIX 3 0 4 0 (send->send) connection failed
MATRIX 3 0 4 0 (send->send) connection failed

hrm
no luck on windows hardy

maybe a combination of tempo tapping and then having a bonk which adjusts the tapped tempo near where you manually `set` it ?

wow.

so a set length array slightly longer than the longest length the loop could be (eg 32 seconds for 2 bars at 60 bpm) which i can quickly fade at both ends is the best bet?
