Hi, I need some guidance in using the soundfiler, writesf~ and readsf~ objects. How can I read a recorded wave file ? How can I set the path for the file? I need to use some recording that I made to be loaded in Pd for further computation and then after some manipulations stored by Pd on the Disk. regards, tania
did you right click on the objects to bring up their help files? they should give you the info you need.
Yes I have tried it through the help files but the problem is that the path to search/load the wave file is not picked by the file. I have tried to put in the paths but it still gives error such as error: dsp: ../sound/bell.aiff: No such file or directory Please tell me the right way to put in the path

Then you gave the wrong path to the soundfiler object.
You can also look at the examples in Help->Browser->3.audio.examples. E.g. all the sampleer patches (B03-B14 ...). (In general it's a good idea to go through the 2.control.examples and 3.audio.examples to understand the basic pd principles ... ;)

You can use the absolute path "/home/taniah/sound/bell.aiff" as a message sent directly to soundfiler.
You can use the openpanel object to search for the file.
You could use some of the various externals for creating and merging symbols to combine file names and directory paths (prepend, makefilename, makesymbol, sprintf...)
You could use playlist for a graphical filebrowser, with the advantage of being able to set directories as a creation argument.
Please note that soundfiler doesn't handle spaces in file names, so "C:\My Documents\sound\bell.aiff" won't work AFAIK. Better make a folder without spaces in the name. See other threads from this list on "escape characters" for much discussion about this point.
best, d.
