[PD] Help with patch needed: keyname/route + textfile/gem

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone might be able to help out with a patch I'm working on (attached to this mail). Basically the patch is designed to trigger samples when a specific key is pressed on the computer keyboard. Also I want to have scrolling text in gem which advances with each key press.

My problems are:

1. Using keyname, the number keys don't work with route - why is this?

Character keys and the Function keys work fine, but I would like to use the number keys as well.

2. Textfile only reads up to the comma - how can I print commas to the

gem window AND specify how much of the text file should be read at a time?

3. I just tried running the gem window and triggering the sample at the

same time and the audio was stuttering constantly! Any ideas for a solution?

many thanks for any advice

James
