Pd workaround

10 04 2007

This is not pretty, but it works. Here are the steps . . .

1 - a band opens file.aif
2 - after a 10ms second delay, readsf~ receives the bang
3 - file.aif plays
4 - after the initial bang, a 100ms delay is triggered and opens the same file.aif
5 - after the initial bang, a 56 second delay is triggered and begins playing the second instance of readsf~
6 - after the first instance of readsf~ finishes, it outputs a bang
7 - that bang is sent to a 100ms and 56 second delay and begins the cycle again

*UPDATE*

okay, so this doesn’t work with multiple audio files. Pd is unstable and crashes after a few cycles.
