Hi Eduard, That is true. The way I usually get around this problem is to set up a time loop that takes your desired pos and then advances the difference in time. int mypos; while(true){ mypos => samp.pos; (samp.samples() - mypos)::samps => now; } You can set this up in a sporked shred and communicate with it to stop it or start it. I usually put the sndbuf into an envelope and have the keyboard control the gain and that will save you some trouble. Right now there isn't a better way that I know of. You could also make a class that abstracted this out and then plead to Ge and crew to add this feature into sndbuf. Hope this helps. --art On 4-Dec-05, at 12:29 PM, eduard wrote:

Hello all,

I have a question for whoever is willing to answer it.

Has one to always set sndbuf.pos at each iteration?

My scenario: Let's say I want to control the starting position of my sndbuf with a midi keyboard while sndbuf is set to loop mode ( 1 => sndbuf.loop ). Midi is received in a sporked MidiReceive() function and my sndbuf.pos is set inside this same function and not in the main while-loop. Thus when I press a key the sndbuf.pos is changed for that loop, but when it gets to the end of it, it starts at sndbuf.pos(0) instead of the previously set one. So it seems that sndbuf doesn't keep track of the position that was set, and automatically starts from the beginning when the end of the audiofile is reached.

Is this true?

Thanks,
