I have been working on a system that prints to disk for a specified duration and then "pauses" making a kind of ready-spliced recording of realtime to a diskfile. I have been using !BPM synced trigger and DiskRecorder.

I would like to emulate the same behaviour in RAM, using MemoryWriter. That is write to RAM whilst the trigger is +ve, and continue writing from that same point when the trigger is +ve again.

I would also like to be able to read from that MemoryWriter taking into account how long it is getting, so I can calculate how many "takes" have been made and jump around between them using a sampleCloud or sample sound reading from that wavetable, with calculated Start points or Loop points.

The behaviour I seem to get from the MemoryWriter is always a full capture for set capture duration.

I know we have seen live loopers and so on, but this is a little different. Its more like a shifting delayline... A RAM recording which can extend and send information about itself and its contents.

I tried an approach with delayed triggers and replicated buffers, a kind of bucket brigade recorder, but still havent reached the goal.. hmmmm...

I wish it was more simple... then my idea could move on.

Really its just about having a simple way to store audio in RAM sequentially, and come back to "audio snapshots" later in time.

StepWriter (with the UpDownCounter) in Pete's DSP would do it but it would have to be a Capybara.

In the end my day went multidimensional... my orginal idea ends up becoming a kind of sampler where realtime buffers seem to be stacked vertically and horizontally - enjoy the examples!
