I am trying to use the readsf~ object, in PD 0.37 for mac X, but it is not working, it cannot open the soundfile because it cannot find it; but I have saved my soundfile in the pd/doc/sound directory, the same as in the help example. this message appears in wish terminal:
error: readsf: start requested with no prior 'open' error: readsf: start requested with no prior 'open' error: dsp: ../sound/ellerfront.wav: No such file or directory
Does anybody knows how to solve it? I really love apreciate help!!
Try hand-selecting the file with this often used idiom:
[bang( | [openpanel] | [open $1( | [readsf~]
Your problem might be, that you try to use readsf~ in a patch in a patch, that is not next to the "sound" directory. Because of that, looking in "../" is not looking in the directory above sound.
You could also use a full path, like "/usr/lib/pd/doc/sound/file.wav" or "c:/pd/doc/soundfile.wav", if you're on Windows.
