Hey, Sorry, I should get around to documenting these abstractions a bit more. fgrainstr2 is a bit more well documented than fgrainstr and I'll get around to specifying things more clearly, which I will do right now... THe first inlet in both are like tabread4~ in that you index into your soundfile (loaded by soundfiler) by sample. A normal sample rate Pure Data is run at is 44100 Hz (you can find this value by banging samplerate~) so to read through a soundfile at a normal rate, you'd index into the object (tabread4 or my fgrainstr) from 0 to 44100 over 1 second to play back the first second at a normal speed and from 0 to 22100 over 1 second to play through the first half second at half speed. You could do this indexing by using something like phasor~ or even easier, line~ by first sending the message 0 to line~ then the message "44100 1000" to ramp to 44100 over 1 second. The audio examples included with Pure Data (namely the ones at the beginning of B) and the help file for soundfiler explain how PD deals with soundfiles more clearly that I just did... As for the specifics in dealing my abstractions, you only really need to deal with fgrainstr and fgrainstr2 (but make sure that fgrain/fgrain2/tukeymaker are in the same folder). You don't even need to open those other abstractions, they're just there to help the main abstractions fgrainstr and fgrainstr2 do their business.
