PURE DATA forum~

Dear RC,

Thank you so much for your list of patches.   They seem very useful.   I am inclined to rebuild my sampler using your patches/GUIs.

Question for you.   I had a look at your one shot gui sampler and tried to load a sound file.   Here is the error message:

error: soundfiler_read: /Users/dereklee-keller/Desktop/Pd-extended.app/Contents/Resources/extra/rc_patches//Users/dereklee-keller/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/Unknown Artist/Unknown Album/Ling-OhL.aif: No such file or directory

The "Ling-OhL.aif" is the sound file (which is a mono file).  I also tried to load a stereo WAV file and got the same message.   The path through which PD is searching for the file seems long, but I am not particularly knowledegable of how the process works when looking through a browser, which your patch executes.  I am still working in the dark ages when the sound file had to be in the same folder as your patch.   

Any thoughts?  Hope I can make this work because your sampler patch looks great and seems very easy to implement....thank you.

Best,

[any2string] is in the moocow external, so make sure you're loading it.

Also you can try a newer version from my svn:

svn checkout http://svn.robotcowboy.com/robotcowboy/ … c-patches/

There are also 2 other smaller libs:

rc-drums (808 drums): http://svn.robotcowboy.com/robotcowboy/ … /rc-drums/

gm-patches (general midi helpers): http://svn.robotcowboy.com/robotcowboy/ … m-patches/

Hah, I actually have 3 of them.

danomatika,

THank you for the help.  I got the patches loaded and running.  But I ran into some snags when checking out [rc-record] and your mixers

for [rc-record], PD couldn't create:

file.path.current

for your [01-Mixers], here are the errors that came up:
vfad_scale -1
... couldn't create
vfad_scale -1
... couldn't create
error: throw~ left: no matching catch
error: throw~ right: no matching catch
error: throw~ left: no matching catch
error: throw~ right: no matching catch

Oddly, on this second issue.  I tested both mixers and was able to turn on the oscillators and get sound out.  But there is a red-dashed-outlined [vfad_scale -1] overlaying each GUI.  Just for giggles,  I tried to select and delete it, but PD would not let me.

Again, thank you for your help and future reply.

PS - the patches are slick.

You need to load the iemgui external for vfad_scale.

As for file.path.current, you should use the latest rc-patches. The zip on my site in the original post is from 2008 and I was using some of the pdmtl externals, which are not included with the zip. You can either get pdmtl or (more recommended) download the latest rc-patches from my svn repository:

svn checkout http://svn.robotcowboy.com/robotcowboy/ … rc-patches

See this tutorial if you're not familiar with subversion: http://www.rubyrobot.org/tutorial/subve … h-mac-os-x

I will be moving everything to Github eventually, so apologies there's no easy one button download.

Hi Danomatika,

As my last message states, I was able to open most of your patches with out any errors after loading iemgui and pdmtl.  I also tried to load in from your svn account, but I am getting errors like "file does not seem to be a URL"

What I am tying to do is rebuild a sampler/looper/collage-r that I built a while ago, but using your patches.   I am hung up on where a new .wav file resides after you hit the toggle on your [rc-record]?  Because I want to call up the file through your [rc-sfplay~].  I tried to do some digging, used the [open] message with a different path, and could not find the newly recorded sound file, with the names test.wav and hello.wav, as you have under the "set" message going into your [file.pat.current].

The idea here is that I would like to use your stereo mixer to take in a signal, have it connect to your [rc-record], and then playback that newly recorded sound file through your [rc-sfplay].  Theoretically this should be pretty straight forward.   But, since this project will be in a new folder, I figure I need to know how to access that folder (or some other folder) to call up the newly created .wav file. 

Sorry this is so long.   And, again, thank you for the help.
