Here’s my setup: I’m using a phasor~ to read data out of an array using tabread4~. And I’m using snapshot and metro to let me know current position in that file. Basically, metro pings the snapshot object on an interval and gives me a reading of where we are. I’m trying to fire a bang exactly when the sample is looped.
Don't measure something when that something can be known beforehand. Instead of a [phasor~] I'd use a [vline~] to control the play head. Then you only need to tell [vline~] in what time it should play your table. You can use the exact same value to control a [metro]. Example:
[metro 2000] <- 2s interval | [0, 88200 2000( <- play the 88200 samples of your table in 2s | [vline~] | [tabread4~ yourtable]
(You really want [vline~] here and not [line~] as only the former is able to start ramps in the middle of blocks)
I’d love it if an event would fire when we’ve reached the end of the array. But as far as I can tell, there’s no such event.
No.
And, because metro runs on an interval, I don’t have sample accuracy.
[metro] is indeed sample accurate, it's even sub-sample accurate. So is [delay]. However, only some tilde-classes make effective use of it, namely [vline~] and [vsnapshot~].
