[chuck-users] Looping Sample Playback

Hi,

This is part of the wonder of ChucK, you can define this yourself.  
Most often .pos is given the 0 argument to start from the beginning  
of the file. You can give it any int that will refer to an index in  
your sample.

If you know the startpoint and endpoint of the looping for each file  
then you can put in a function like this and then call it for every  
instance of the sample. Then you can expand this to respond to  
noteons and noteoffs and all those other musical things.

I hope this answers your question.

--art

fun void playsample(int startpoint, int endpoint, string filename){
	sndbuf s => dac;

	filename => s.read;

	0 => s.pos;

	endpoint::samp => now;

	while(true){
		startpoint => s.pos;
		(endpoint - startpoint)::samp => now;
	}
}
