ok, so i just used the file recorder to record something from a file player (i kept stopping and starting it at will, which was neat).

now i have a sample in the file_recorder. is there a way to press something, to get this sample auto-wrapped into a file_player, or a loop_player, please?
would Replace FileRecorder_1 with FilePlayer_1 allow it? is there some switch i'm supposed to press to "wrap" from a recorded sample to a playable, loopable sample?

also, how do i make it so that when i add a new mulch-object into the patcher, that it is auto-opened on the right, in the properties?

also, how do i switch the functionality of Shift, so that when i press it, only one cable is drawn out of a stereo object, and when i don't press shift, it drags two cables from out of a stereo object?

Perhaps you should look at the tutorials first: http://www.audiomulch.com/resources.htm

There's no current way to reverse that to my knowledge. If it's because you want to do it all with one hand, you could check for a mouse that has more buttons on it. For ex: you assign shift on the thumb side.

Hey, welcome lackluster :-)

I think the "canonical" idiom of audiomulch is to get resampling functionality through the use of delay and looper contraptions, rather than saving state to the disk.

However, if you play around with automating the record event on the filerecorder and presets on the fileplayer/looper (switching between file unloaded/loaded states), you can get the functionality of dynamically recording and loading a file. I've been meaning to experiment with this, but I haven't gotten around to doing more than a proof of concept. Maybe I can post an example patch if it would help, but it pretty much works the way you "think" it will work (or at least it worked out the way I "thought" it should work).

@esaruoho

There has to be multi-button mouse on mac that you can get and that his programmable. You should try sending an e-mail to logitech or something. Ask them if their programmable mouse works on mac and that you can assign the shift on the thumb button or something.

Just did a quick research.

Maybe something like that: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/mice-pointers/mice/devices/marathon-mouse-m705

There something called logitech control center for mac. Ask them about assigning the shift-click on the thumb side.

As the others said, if you want to sample and loop, use the LiveLooper contraption. You could do what you want with the file recorder by closing the file and reopening it in a LoopPlayer or FilePlayer.

I am considering providing more "LISA" like functionality where there is less difference between recording sound files and recording a loop. This has been discussed in the feature request forum.

> how do i make it so that when i add a new mulch-object into the patcher, that it is auto-opened on the right, in the properties?

There is no automatic option. Double click the contraption once you've created it.

There is no option for this. The design philosophy of AudioMulch is generally to provide one way of doing things and to not provide a bazillion options to configure things to work in different ways.
