hi list.
i got a 152Mb wav file (16bit 44100Hz) to be processed by pd array. it seems 4E6 array size only is able to handle about 5%~10% of the file. and pd jams when i try to lift the x-range of the array to something like 8E7. is there a limit of the array here?
thanks
Jay
Hi Jay, the first thing that i usually change after downloading PD is this array size limit. I don't know why it's there at all. If you have the possibility to compile PD for your platform simply change src/d_soundfile.c line 830 (in version 0.36) to a value of your choice. For your wav file: Don't forget that a 16 bit file will be blown up to double size (32 bits) and will then take up 304 MB. It depends on your RAM size if that can be handled. Don't use a graphical array! The graphical representation can't handle this large arrays properly. It depends on what you want to do, but it may be better to use soundfiler and load in only a portion of the file at a time.
best greetings, Thomas

Alternatively, just specify "-maxsize 1000000000" (or whatever) in the "read" message. Oops, still no usable help window for read/writesf... I've got that in the pipe for the next release.

hi all
i have to send to PD from another program the path of a sound files on my hard drive . The problem comes when there are spaces either on the foldernames or file names. PD doesn't recognise it as a whole thing but as different items separated my spaces.
is there anyway to solve this?
hi enrike + list
I think you can work around this problem in windows by using the legacy dos (8.3 characters) filename. You can find the 8.3 name with dir (with some option).
This is off course a "dirty" solution and it's only valid on windows. I wished there was a general character escape mechanism in messages in PD.

On mac osx you use a \ to escape the spaces, if I recall correctly.
