Text Load -> Float Array yields empty array. Bug?

However, if you put a String or a Text before the array input, the array works fine. That's extremely slow on large arrays however.

Hi,

I'm not sure I would call it a bug, I guess it's supposed to work that way. But yes text component to float array is pretty slow.

I use the parser for getting a waveform saved as text into a float array....

....no need for the text component, and a lot faster. 🙂

Cheers 😉

Great! That works so much better 🙂

Nifty thing that parser, somehow missed that though I've got R&D enabled. I'll have to look into that some day - is there anywhere I can read up on the principles?

Thank you so much 🙂

Wow, thanks for that tip exo! My 1024 waveshape modules were taking about 1 - 2 seconds to change between shapes. This works a dream!

Wish I could bring myself to learn the parsing properly, finding it so difficult to get my head around it...

Oddson has done a tutorial on the parser here......[old link]

Theres also bits on it about the forum, but theres no official documentation on it.

Cheers 😉

Thanks Exo, I'd already seen the tutorial, I just still find it difficult, because it's not like anything else in SM, and the logic for it seems to work a completely different way. I need enough time to sit down and go through each component and see how it can be used. Even with Oddsons in-depth explanations, I'm still a bit confused,

Cheers,

Mike
