I don&#39;t know what&#39;s the best way but here is _a_ way:<div><br></div><div>set the range of a horizontal slider to match the length of the array</div><div>you can use the outlet of soundfiler and send it to the [hsl] object&#39;s receive symbol through a message, for example: </div>

<div><br></div><div>[soundfiler]</div><div>|</div><div>[range 0 $1(<br>|</div><div>[s myslider]</div><div><br></div><div>(it will only update whenever you load a file)</div><div>then you can take a [line] (no tilde) and send it exactly the same messages as the [line~]   you use for playing the sound (unless you are using a phasor~ for that...), and have it control the slider. </div>

<div>place the slider under your array to serve as a readhead</div><div>I did something similar in this patch:</div><div><a href="http://www.timvets.net/software/pd_beatslicer.php?page=software">http://www.timvets.net/software/pd_beatslicer.php?page=software</a></div>

<div>in the video, the yellow slider on the top left follows the sections of the array being played</div><div>gr,</div><div>Tim</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/5/17 PF <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:potaxpotax@gmail.com">potaxpotax@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span><br>
