Gen~ with buffer?

Developers MaxMSP
#1

So I started looking into gen~, as this was the reason I got interested in the platform in the first place. However, I see you’ll need to design one using only Gen’s internal objects, without referring to objects outside the gen~ object. Do I understand correctly that I cannot work with buffer, as it references an external buffer~ object?

If yes, what other ways using gen~ can you suggest to record a sound which I want to manipulate later?

Thanks!

Hi,
Yes, you don’t have to use a buffer but a “data” object inside a gen~ patch, writing values (your sound samples) with “poke” and reading with"peek" .
