That is expected behaviour because the file is played as if it’s a 4ch file (as set in the open message). Therefore the original samples of the mono file are ‘cycled’ over the four outputs. This way all outputs give audio and the file is played at 4 times the speed because each output only receives one out of four samples (because of the cycling). If you change the ‘4’ in the open message to ‘2’ it will play two outputs at twice the speed.Best!EdwinOn 8 Nov 2021, at 17:02, Alexandre Torres Porres <porres@gmail.com> wrote:_______________________________________________Em sáb., 6 de nov. de 2021 às 16:23, Dan Wilcox <danomatika@gmail.com> escreveu:I don't understand how the mono file input (bell.aif) can
output 4 channels of audio!It doesn't... there are 4 output channels from the object but only the first shows a change in envelope when you play it. The rest output 0 as the file is only mono.But I get the output in the 4 channels when I click the message "open ../sound/bell.aiff 0 200 4 2 b, 1", which is one of the messages from the help file. It also plays the file faster and at a higher pitch.
