Pipo descr how to add a data column?

Dear Mubu people,

When I work with descriptors, I might want to add an extra column with data of my own. Currently such is not straight forward as far as I can decipher. What would you suggest? Adding a column seems to wipe out the data if I understand the track helpfile correctly. A workaround would be to replace an existing descriptor column which is what I use currently. renaming the column does not yet work though.

Further, if MuBu reads a buffer from disk, is there anyway to get the info on what MuBu has actually read? File name and such? In case of loading a folder for example. I am currently using a polybuffer~ object for that and I use the getshortname command.

Best, Hans.

Hi Hans,

  1. that’s what the const pipo module is for:

    mubu.process mubuname trackname descr:const @const.label mycolumn... @const.value defaultvals...

  2. look at left outlet of mubu, and audio track info
