Size/duration of tracks and buffers

MuBu
#1

Hello,
Can we have different size for a track in each buffer ?

As far as I understand, size is the number of frame in a track.
Duration is total time of a track considering sample rate.

If I can’t have multiple size for a track in different buffer, I can "cheat it’ if I use a different speed/frequency of playing with my phasor + sample message to my mubu.track.

For instance, if I have a track with 2 elements (0,0) (10000,1) (I mean a ramp), and a sample rate of 1000, it would be a rampl lasting basically 10s.
Ideally, in another buffer this same track would get 2 elements (0,0) (5000,1) (I mean I want a shorter track, a faster ramp). For the same sampling rate, I’d just have to ramp my phasor from 0 to 5000 twice faster.

Am I totally out of it ?

yes,
you can have different size for a track in different buffers, the opposite would be a bad limitation for mubu!
Duration is total time of a track considering sample rate, for sampled tracks, while for timetagged it is the timetag of the last element.
