Small step forward,
I just discovered that part of the problem seems to be having syncgrain~ (win32 version) in the externs folder. I would have thought that externals do not even get seen let alone loaded before called as objects, but I suppose that must not be the case.
New questions:
does anyone else have the 'audio I/O stuck' problem with
syncgrain~ under windows?
is there another good granular synthesis external somewhere?
Many thanks,
