I need to set my sample back to 0. something like player.play(0) or rewind or something….jsut for audioSample.

Need to use audioSample since audioPlayer has a pretty bad latency if you’re trying to synchronize samples.

is there something like loop(), rewind(), or play(0)?

thanks in advance

thank you so much for ur reply and suggestions, I will give that a go

But, what you’ve described is relatively simple, so try this: create an array of 9 AudioSample objects. Load a different sample into each one. When the mouse is pressed, use the random function to generate a number between 0 and 8 (remember that arrays are 0 based) and use the int function to turn that generated number into an int that you can index into the array with. Your code might look something like this:

void mousePressed()
{
  int index = int( random(0,8) );
  sampleArray[index].trigger();
}

Good luck!

Would be lovely to hear some feedback.

Here’s an example of how you load a file into a FilePlayer and patch it to an AudioOutput (you’ll need to use the current beta build to be able to do this):

Minim minim;
AudioOutput mainOut;

FilePlayer player;

void setup()
{
  minim = new Minim(this);
  mainOut = minim.getLineOut();

  // 1024 is a buffer size.
  // true means that the file will be loaded into memory,
  // which is what you want if you're going to be constantly playing it from the beginning
  player = new FilePlayer( minim.loadFileStream( "your_sample.wav", 1024, true )  );
  player.patch( mainOut );
}

void triggerPlayer()
{
  // starts player playing back from the beginning
  // you'd use this in place of the trigger() method from AudioSample
  player.play(0);
}
