Hi all,
I am having some trouble creating a pd patch and I was wondering if
anyone could help me out. I'm trying to create a patch that gets
input from the serial port and if the number is high enough it starts
playing one of many predefined playlists at random.
I am having a couple of problems with this.
The first is that I have no idea how to create a playlist. The way I
have it going so far is that I have a chain of readsf~ and del
objects opening and playing each sound in sequence but I'm sure there
is a better way to do this. Is there some sort of list object that I
can populate with paths to sound files and that will go through them
one at a time, waiting until they are done before going to the next one?
The second problem is that I want the part of the patch that takes
care of initiating the playing of a playlist (random and select
objects) to be disabled when one of the playlists is playing, and
then enabled again once a playlist is done. How can I do this?
I am attaching my patch so far in case anyone wants to take a look.
Thanks for the help,
-Elie
