It’s possible that PA and I have the same build of the externals (64bit, I think both directly from Alex).

My version was created on 25/09/2018 and says it is Version 1.1

Ooooh, I think I see what’s happening.

So I put it to run and let it go to see if I would get a proper crash and report out of it and noticed the pointer came back briefly. Then the pinwheel again.

I noticed some stuff in the Max window:

I think it’s concating _every_ audio file on my computer…

Speaking of, can that be a new keyword? Like sending a message of `all` to the abstraction just fills your RAM with the contents of your computer…

(actually years ago I remember meeting with Braxton and Frederic chatting about odd synth designed and I suggested something that when you pressed a button just started writing an infinitely long sinewave to your hard drive, until your computer crashed)

Try the updated version. It offers you the selection of a specific folder and three levels of recursion beneath that.

The second example doesn’t work for me either.

The `sf` gets filled up with something, but doesn’t appear to be the files.

Here is the output of running it on the single attacks from the training data set:

Also, for some reason the `concat` buffer has a mono file in it, instead of stereo files like what is being loaded. (maybe the `sizeinsamps 1 1`?)
