[PD] Variable length recording

[ypatios]

Hi,

i think the easiest way would be to write on the disk first (using
writesf~), and then read the file to a table (using soundfiler and the
"resize" flag). This way the size of the table will be automatically
adjusted to match the size of the file.
The downside is, you don't have access to the sound during the recording.
If you do need access while recording (or if you just don't want to use the
HDD) maybe you should prepare a table with the max recording length
(according to your system capabilities, taste etc.) and after the recording
is done (with a noteoff message for example..) you resize the table to the
actual length of the recording by sending a message like the following:

;
mytable resize $1

(where $1 is the length of the recording in samples)

and at the same time you prepare the next "big" table for the next
recording..

i guess, this is one flexible and economical approach.. but i'm sure there
are many ways to do it. just told you what came to me first!
sorry if i can't be clear enough right now.. :-)


ciao
