[PD] Sample loop - start and end point (WAV files)

Dan, do you mean a simple soundfile that has loop markers embedded? I have tons of them.

Do you need .wav or .aiff or both? Mine are usually .wav but I can convert it to .aiff as well.

 

I'll have to check on my old computer first to make sure whether the files header contain the loops.

Can someone send me example files with encoding loop positions? I started with demo soundfile meta data reading/writing but now I need some sample files to work with. I saved a couple via Logic Pro X but the region info is saved as simple markers, not using instrument or sampler chunks.

How would loopautitioneer automatically reed the loop points from within Pd and transfer them?

I can reed the loop points externally with no problem. My problem is to set the loop points automatically from within Pd.

hello all, i don't know if it is relevant, but my simple google search returned this software too:

 

 <http://loopauditioneer.sourceforge.net/> http://loopauditioneer.sourceforge.net/

 

LoopAuditioneer is a software for evaluating, creating and manipulating loops and cues existing in wav file metadata. It's envisionaged to be useful for sample production for virtual pipe organs, like for instance  <http://sourceforge.net/projects/ourorgan/> GrandOrgue software.


SOURCE CODE:
------------

Is available on  <http://sourceforge.net/projects/loopauditioneer/> http://sourceforge.net/projects/loopauditioneer/ by SVN.

libsndfile also can extract loop points from a variety of formats. The relevant code for wav is here  <https://github.com/erikd/libsndfile/blob/master/src/wav.c#L1140-L1163> https://github.com/erikd/libsndfile/blob/master/src/wav.c#L1140-L1163
