[PD] -batch option

[Oli Larkin]

Hi,

I'm experimenting with the -batch option. I would like to be able to process wave files and they should end up exactly the same length in terms of samples as the original file.

Here is a test patch which writes a ramp which should last 44100 samples. I am launching it like this:

/Applications/Pd-0.45-4.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd -batch -nomidi -send "file test" /Users/oli/batchtest.pd

The resulting file is 44096 samples long. I realise this is because the message rate delay which stops the recording is quantized to block boundaries (64*689 = 44096)

Is there any way i can stop the recording after exactly 44100 samples have elapsed?

thanks

oli
