Hello,
this is basically my question, I could use feedback to confirm that sf objects in general work well in m4l.
Concretely I cannot seem to save my samples with sfplay~, the embed 1 method does not work here and I see that binding to pattr isn't possible either.

thank you for your tips,

Pattr should work. We're using it all the time to save strings, so I can't see how it would not store a path.

Ok. But since I cannot connect the pattr via bindto to the sfplay~ object, I guess you mean to bindto a textedit or something similar, and the textedit should contain all paths with indexes and then to run all those chunks of data as the patch loads, correct?
If there is a method that should be clearly superior over the others, please tell me..

cheers,

At some point you're going to send the read command along with a path. Send it to M4L.api.SaveString too. That contains a pattr in parameter mode that'll output the last saved string when a set is reloaded.

Make sure you prepend the output of the pattr with the read message.

Hello,
my project is on hold concerning saving samples and paths for now, mostly because I'd like to avoid redundancy between the various objects that will be needed anyway. Sfplay~ will be needed anyway, so first I'd like to get to know sfplay~'s own editing (cue building) possibilities.


The problem is that I cannot get the "clear" or "clear $1" messages to work. I must be missing something, although the reference seems pretty clear:

In left inlet: The word clear with no arguments clears all defined cues. After a clear message is received, only the number 1 will play anything (assuming there's an open file). The word clear followed by one or more cue numbers removes them from the sfplay~ object's cue list.

In my tests, clear has no effect at all. Here is an example, I hope, concise enough. All help most welcome

Hi guys,

I have been looking for samplers and drum machines at maxforlive.com in order to maybe find an example that use sfplay~ but haven't found any. I still struggle to understand why I cannot get the "clear" message to have any effect on sfplay~. I might just be making some mistake but it is also possible that this object works as described under specific conditions that are not clearly elaborated in the help files.

edit.. just came through this:
