Report audio file information sfinfo~ gives you the number of channels, sample size, sampling rate, sampletype, filename, and duration of a soundfile. Cycling '74 MSP MSP I/O open Opens File, bang Reports Info TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Number of Channels TEXT_HERE Sample Size in Bits TEXT_HERE Sampling Rate TEXT_HERE File Length in Milliseconds TEXT_HERE Sample Type TEXT_HERE File Name TEXT_HERE Filename to reference Names a file that sfinfo~ will report about when it receives a subsequent bang message. The file must exist in the Max search path. Get and output information about a named sfplay~ object If a file has already been opened, either with the open message or specified by an argument to sfinfo~, bang reports the number of channels, sample size, sample rate, and length in milliseconds out the sfinfo~ object's outlets. TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Get and output information about a named sfplay~ object In left inlet: The word getnamed, followed by a symbol which specifies the name of an sfplay~ object, interrogates the named sfplay~ object and reports the number of channels, sample size, sample rate, file length in milliseconds, sample type, and filename out its outlets. Open an audio file The word open, followed by a name of an audio file, opens the file if it exists in Max's search path. Without a filename, open brings up a standard open file dialog allowing you to choose a file. After the file is opened, sfinfo~ interrogates the file and reports the number of channels, sample size, sample rate, file length in milliseconds, sample type, and filename out its outlets. Out left outlet: The number of channels in the audio file.

Out 2nd outlet: The audio file's sample size in bits (typically 16). Out 3rd outlet: The audio file's sampling rate.

Out 4th outlet: The duration of the audio file in milliseconds. Out 5th outlet: the sample type of the audio file.

The following types of sample data are supported: 8-bit integer unsigned 8-bit integer 16-bit integer 24-bit integer 32-bit integer 32-bit floating-point 64-bit floating-point 8-bit "mu"-law encoding 8-bit a-law encoding

Out 6th outlet: The filename of the audio file
