Hi,

Thanks Iohannes for that, I was actually stupidly trying to pass (argc, argv) to the dsp function, hence the crash. So, now it works as it should, at dsp start. But there is still a problem though, as I switch the dsp on and off, and on ... it clicks when it restarts ... It actually does continue the playback where it was (as I wanted to be), but with an annoying click. In the tabread example, it needs a sig to trigger the samples, but I don't want to. I want the arrays to be loaded once for all at instantiantion, and then doing my processing. I thus guess that it may be due to the 64 samples buffer length, that is sweeped out when turning off. Am I right ? Is there a solution to cope with that ? Does the dsp on call the dsp function and dsp off the dsp free function ? What if I don't have a dsp free function ?

I could send some code, but I think I can't handle the problem once I more precisely understand how Pd API works.

Best

Sylvain

Hi everyone,

I am actually writing an external which manipulates some audio buffers,

and

for this purpose I use garrays (i.e. garrays names are actual arguments

of

my external). The problem is that in order, for my external, to retrieve the data contained in the buffer, I need to reinstantiate the object and then it works just fine. There is here something that I am missing about the way Pd handles with garrays ...

have a look at tabread/tabwrite how it is handled there.

code might be useful for your specific problem.
