Sorry, no time to patch it for you now, but basically send the total
number of frames output by [pix_film] to the cold inlet of mod, send the
output of the counter to the hot inlet of [mod]. By changing the speed
of the [metro] in the counter, you change frame playback rate. You can
also put another [mod] below that to loop a smaller section, with a [+]
following it to make the frame offset.
In bad ASCII:
[metro (playback speed in ms)]
|
[f]x[+1]
|
[mod (total number of frames)]
|
[mod (length of loop in frames)]
|
[+ (starting frame of loop)]
|
(cold inlet of [pix_film])
Hope that makes sense! I'll leave it to you to figure out how to make it
run backwards ;-)
Best,
D.
