well, it became unresponsive. but this i think was because i had a toggle
going into a bang, which was sending to a delay, which was trying to
untoggle the toggle, which would then send out a bang. so it was my fault
really, endless feedback loops causing unresponsiveness and then me not
being able to remove a specific segment of it to stop it from
feedbacking/being unresponsive. so no point really trying to fix, right? :)

Thing is, the array (let's call it plom) is played at like 0.0017 speed or
more, so to capture what "plom" sounds like when pitched down, i thought
i'd have to write it into an array, and save that array safely. maybe i've
misunderstood, but i was able to then capture it  into an array and write
that array. i was just hoping to do it in a snappier way rather than having
to have a metro toggled on, until it felt like the array was full, and then
stop the metronome, and then manually tap on save-sample.

so far i'm quite happy with how the script goes, it's very simplistic, just
two oscillators, a delay, a method of sampling the oscillators+delay result
into an array (plom), then a midicontroller knob to control the playback of
the array (plom) between -2 and 2. now i'm just trying to get the happy
accidents (plom pitched down) into a randomly named filename (or maybe a
date/time named filename) so that i can retain them, instead of losing them
everytime pure data is booted.

after numerous mistakes, i was able to (i think) get this to work somehow.
i'm not sure if foo = plom, but i put tabread4~ and array size as plom (as
that's the original material). i am able to now feed the phasor~ playback
speed into the [/ 0.016666] -2nd port, and if i tap on start, and wait a
while and tap on stop, i get a type of sound. it's not in the same pitch as
what i'm hearing, so what i hear isn't quite what i get, but it's
definitely a step in the right direction. i took a screenshot of what i
ended up with, if that helps.

i'm kind of halfway there, thanks to you! all i gotta do is get it to
actually be at the same pitch and work, and figure out if i should just
keep with 0.01666666 that you suggested, or have that be changed by the
playback speed (that i'm using to feed to phasor~..

and the 2nd step is to get the date-time writing to the filename and
somehow stash the long-ish path somewhere. phew.
i never thought i'd get this far!
