I would really love it if someone could provide a sample patch demonstrating how to load a long audio file, and be able to scrub through it using onset.
I am utterly baffled by B16.long-varispeed.pd
Something as simple as Rafael Hernandez' patch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boX0v54SqtU
I am afraid I don't have time to watch an internet video, what does this patch do? Does it use externals? In what term is it different to B16.long-varispeed.pd?
Would be nice if this could be done with perfect backward compatibility with existing externals.
It does not make much sense to provide backward compatibility with externals imho. A solution should be possible using internal objects, and if such a thing existed, it would make sense to give it a new name (such as tabread4long~ or whatever).
