hi hope, i can help u again, array and table is similar, table does never (?) store the data, an array can do. there are several ways to load data into an array. use the soundfiler-object to read a file. or use the objects "tabwrite~" and "tabsend~" to stream into an array. (tabwrite~ fills the filles the whole array with samples, tabsend~ only sends one vector of samples (64 default) but continuously... as soon as there is data in an array, you can also read out the data from any position in any speed, time or direction you want. to "play" a table either use "tabplay~" or "tabread4~" in connection with "phasor~" or "line~" the output of phasor has to be multiplicated with the size (number) of the array and then be connected to the inlet of tabread~ (phasor outputs values from 0 to 1, the frequency of the phasor adjusts the tempo, in which the arraydata is read, use low frequencies) the line~ object can be fed with a message like "0, 44100 1000" (=go to zero, komma, go to the value 44100 in 1000 milliseconds). marius.

Another newbie question... I'm trying to figure out how to make an array of arrays, or at least I think I am. What I'd like to do is to sample sounds from adc~ into a table or array (and I remain a bit confiused over whether they're the same thing, and the necessary relation of the visual array diagram to them), and them append each of them into an array of those, from which I can pick them out and play them as needed or randomly.
Part of this seems to require creating templates, but from going through all the docs that I can find and playing around with them, I remain unclear on the whole template thing. I have a feeling that the documentation is assuming some paradigm that I haven't gotten yet.
Any clues?
