OK, this is getting clearer...
I'm curious about the "table" objects such as
#X obj 285 138 table 2-samp;
that appear to float alone on the screen, though they are drawn with an inlet and an outlet. In digging around, I don't see help or documentation on the object, and I don't see what the inlet and outlet are for.
It may be a bit misleading, that I put the "table"s under the soundfiler stuff. You don't need to connect anything to a table, like you can't connect anything directly to an array, that has no inlets. The soundfiler objects write into the array given to them in a "read -resize file.wav arrayname" message. No strings necessary. But you can connect messages to a table, like shown in my patch with the table "which_samp". Here I send just some numbers, that are put as y-values into the table. Or you could send a "resize 10" message to change the table's size to 10 values.
Ideally, I would hope that they could take an input value and create a table on the fly, with something like "table $1-table". I'd also like to see what they send as output, but nothing that I've tried attaching to the output (number, symbol, or print objects)has revealed what it's sending.
"table $1-table" would just name the table's array depending on the arguments in a calling patch.
And don't bother, many people may have looked for the output's functionality, but: in pd-0.35 table has a help-patch, that reveals: The outlet of a table does nothing and is to be removed in further versions of PD ;)
I'm also occasionally getting on the console screen "Consistency check failed: tabwrite_tilde_tick". Any idea what this is and if I should worry?
That's strange, I've never seen this.
