Record sound into a buffer record~ records a signal into a buffer~ object. You can specify how many channels to record with the optional input-channels argument. Recording stops when the buffer~ is filled. Cycling '74 MSP MSP Sampling Record Ch 1 In, 1 Starts, 0 Stops TEXT_HERE Recording Start Point in ms TEXT_HERE Recording End Point in ms TEXT_HERE Sync Out TEXT_HERE Buffer name Obligatory. Names the buffer~ where record~ will write the recorded samples. Number of input channels Specifies the number of input channels (1, 2, 4, 50, etc). This determines the number of inlets record~ has. The two rightmost inlets always set the record start and end points. Function depends on inlet In left inlet: Any non-zero number starts recording; 0 stops recording. Recording starts at the start point unless append mode is on.

In the inlet to the left of the right inlet: Set the start point within the buffer~ (in milliseconds) for the recording. By default, the start point is 0 (the beginning of the buffer~).

In right inlet: Sets the end point of the recording. By default, the end point is the end of the buffer~ object's allocated memory. Function depends on inlet (float converted to int). In left inlet: Any non-zero number starts recording; 0 stops recording. Recording starts at the start point unless append mode is on.

In the inlet to the left of the right inlet: Set the start point within the buffer~ (in milliseconds) for the recording. By default, the start point is 0 (the beginning of the buffer~).

In right inlet: Sets the end point of the recording. By default, the end point is the end of the buffer~ object's allocated memory. Specify settings for transport list can be used to specify loop-start and loop-end points or timing/synchronization settings for transport. Specify settings for transport list can be used to specify loop-start and loop-end points or timing/synchronization settings for transport. Open a file buffer display window Double-clicking on record~ opens an editing window where you can view the contents of its associated buffer~ object. Reset record-loop points The word reset resets the record-loop points to the default values (which record through the whole duration of the assigned buffer~). Change target buffer~ name The word set, followed by the name of a buffer~, changes the buffer~ where record~ will write the recorded samples. Function depends on inlet In left inlet: When recording is turned on, the signal is recorded into the sample memory of a buffer~ at the current sampling rate.

In middle inlets: If record~ has more than one input channel, these inlets record the additional channels into the buffer~. Enable append mode The word append, followed by a non-zero number, enables append mode. In this mode, when recording is turned on, it continues from where it was last stopped. append 0 disables append mode. In this case, recording always starts at the start point when it is turned on. Append mode is off initially by default. Turn on looping The word loop, followed by a non-zero number, enables loop recording mode. In loop mode, when recording reaches the end point of the recording (see above) it continues at the start point. loop 0 disables loop recording mode. In this case, recording stops when it reaches the end point. Loop mode is off initially by default. The record~ object also takes into account any changes in the buffer~ object's sampling rate if the buffer~ object's length is modified for the purpose of establishing loop points. Loop point Sets the loop end point for the object. The sampling interval can be specified in any of the time formats used in Max. Loop start point Sets the loop start point for the object. The sampling interval can be specified in any of the time formats used in Max. Transport name to associate with record~ object. The name of a transport object with which to associate. By default the global transport is used. Sync output. During recording, this outlet outputs a signal that goes from 0 when recording at the start point to 1 when recording reaches the end point. When not recording, a zero signal is output.
