Hi William,

Thanks for the suggestions. This is really useful as I didn't know that you can format messages for soundfiler like that. 

So I made all of your suggested changes but I'm still getting the funny noisy playback. It sounds almost ring-modulated (e.g. you hear a lower-frequency sideband at around 10 seconds into the file, which isn't in the input file). Here's the recorded output of the patch: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/47945259/testoutput.wav

Could it be an OS X issue?

 

Thanks

Peiman

PS I've attached the new patch with your suggested changes.

Hi Peiman, I notice a few things:

1) your soundfile is being truncated to 4000000 samples

2) you're loading the left channel of your stereo file into both arrays

3) after calculating the correct frequency for phasor~ to play at normal speed, you're multiplying by zero.

With 3), maybe you have that there so you can scale the playback speed with a control later. But re: 1 & 2, try a message to soundfiler like this:

read -maxsize 6.24e+06 -resize $1 test_L test_R

That will increase soundfiler's default maxsize so your complete sample can be loaded. Also note that with the "read" command you can list 2 tables to load to with stereo audio files. You had those tables listed in separate messages…with 2 separate "read" calls, soundfiler is starting over each time and has no way of knowing that you want to continue where you left off.

I didn't listen carefully with headphones, but after those changes I didn't hear an obvious difference between tabread4~'s playback of your file vs. my web browser's.

Hope that helps,

William

Attached is a simple patch that reads sound file data from an array with tabread4~. 

Does someone know why the result is so noisy? Please try with this sound file (96k 24bit): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/47945259/test.aif.

It sounds like some sort of extreme quantisation noise. But maybe I've missed something in the patch. 

I'm on the latest version of pd vanilla on os x 10.7.5.  

Many Thanks

Peiman
