i have a question...
i want to do some live sampling during my performance.. but i don't know how long my samples will be. i can't seem to find an object that lets me record a sample without specifying the length. i don't want to record to the harddrive, this is for live use. i want the sample availble for playback/manipulation immediately. in max i'd use a buffer~ object.. i'm looking for some sort of equivalent in pd. is there a way to have a table/array resize for live recording?

Hi Matt, xrecord~ (part of the xsample lib) may help you because it has sample accurate record triggering. You can use two or more arrays that are written to alternately, always writing the full one to disk. On the other hand i'll also introduce array resizing shortly.
best greetings, Thomas

What I would do is simply record to a nice, long sample, but then control the length of _playback_. This can depend on, for instance, the output of a timer that you use while recording to measure the length you'll actually want... plus, when you hear the output, you can still adjust the length.

I think, it might be worth to try to record to a temporary file with writesf~ and then readsf~ it again. I don't now, how well this would work in a live situation, though. But writesf~ is threaded, so it might work. At least this solution would be quite flexible.
