How to access samples in a buffer (Transient detector)

[charlybeck]

Hi,

i want to implement a transient detector. So how can i access samples in a buffer~ object?

Maybe there is a more compfortable way to do this?

Cheers,

thanks i used peek~.

However, it is not so important since my samples all start after a few milliseconds but it is quite slow doing this in max.

Isn't there a faster way? For example an object that calculates the rms level of a defined part of a buffer or something like this?

i did not try it but in the meantime i read about the gen~ object which may be a faster solution than scanning samples with patcher objects because the code is directly translated to machine code...

Yep, gen~ is the way to go as it works at sample rate (while msp is buffer length based).
