[PD] Phasor Driven Midi File Playback?

[saint]

hmmm. i did try that but it seems to stumble at the first space in the full path (as pure data does)

unfortunately the patch will need to be ported around when it's done so specifying a full path won't fulfill my needs.

is there a .dll of the midifile external for w32 knocking around for which this read message works for shortened paths?



again, thanks all of you for your time!

I think what is happening is that [midifile] is expecting a full path for the file name when using read. This is why it works for the [openpanel] because it returns a complete path. Did you try using the full path with [read $1(?

thanks for the quick reply again martin,

it's a strange problem that i seem to be having.

because i definitely have all the midifiles in the same folder as the patch but

[midifile test.mid]
...or...
[read test.mid(---[midifile]
gives... 'error: midifile: unable to open test.mid'


but when i do
[bang]---[openpanel]---[read $1(---[midifile]
and point it to 'test.mid' it seems to work?

hmmmm...
unfortunately for what i want to do i need to be able to automate opening different midifiles.

i'm using your zip from http://puredata.info/Members/martinrp/midifile/midifile.zip/view


thanks again in advance!

Just 
like 
that.
Or 
send 
a 
message 
or 
symbol 
containing 
the 
path 
to 
the 
[read 
$1( 
message.
It's 
probably 
easier 
if 
all 
the 
files 
are 
in 
the 
same 
directory 
as 
the 
patch.
