Pure Data Audio File Loading

[creativecontrol]

Hello,

I’m using the v5 hardware and looking to add more complex audio file playback than currently available in the Audio Player. (Multiple read heads, multiple loop sections, etc.) I’ve done this is Max/MSP before so Pure Data seems like a good place to start rather than writing a new Python based audio player with additional features.

Is it possible to load sound files dynamically from the Zynthian file system into a PD buffer? Are there any examples of this technique?

The examples and docs seem to only show control mapping capabilities.

Thanks

currently available in the Audio Player.

Do you mean currently in stable or the upcoming ‘Oram’ release. I know there are enhancements to the audio recorder/player and multi-track capabilities planned.

@tunagenes

multi-track capabilities planned.

Multitrack recording is in current stable. Oram brings improved looping, splicing, speed & pitch control etc. but not multihead (echo effect) or more than one loop.

I would encourage pooling ideas and development effort in the feature rich audio player.

Getting back to your original question:

It seems like it should be possible, because Pure Data - PureData running in Zynthian is effectively running under Linux. I don’t know of any examples and I was hoping someone else would answer. There are some topics that a search on Pure Data found that seemed like they would access files:

A drum sample player in puredata.. Is possible?

Hello, I’m learning Pure Data. Since I can’t find a sample player for Zynthian (it would be a drum sampler, like the Volca Sample, for example), I’ve decided to start looking into how to do it in Pure Data. The idea would be to have a folder with kicks, snares, hats, etc., and to be able to select and load into memory the sample of my choice using the Zynthian controls. I’m not sure if there’s something like this already programmed, but the thing is, I’m very much a noob in Pure Data and it’s go…

@piattica: the number of stations can be easily exteded: rename “main.pd.template” to “main.pd.template.pd” and open it with Pure Data. add more stations and adjust the divisor of ctlin114: (127 / (number_of_stations - 1)) rename “main.pd.template.pd” back to “main.pd.template” open “zynconfig.yml.template” with a text editor and add more “labels” placeholders under “Stations:” open “setup.py” with a text editor and adjust variable ‘max_stations = 22’ REMARK: Don’t forget to increment the num…
