hi all!

i have tried all i know, didn´t get the final idea.
my problem: the soundsample is 3 sec long, if i get an "on" message (true, button pressed) sound starts playing until i get an off (false, button not pressed) message. everything is fine until i start trying fading sounds out and pressing the button again while the sound is "playing" (muted in the background or whatever cage)... i´d like to know how could i: fade out the sound on button off, and be able to start the sound again from the beginning without chopping/whispering etc?

i could: load 5times every sound, and count them through, but, i have 8 buttons, every button has 3 sounds, played in a row, and this 5 times... makes a lot of bufferusage..... thogh there are some more 4 songs to play on other events.

here is my code, i really don´t get it.

also tried soundSample soundSnippet

should i change to beads? is it just my mistakes, or probably not working in minim/processing?

thx so much
