I may have asked this before, but I am struggling to understand the
tabrec/tabplay opcodes so any input is welcome

I don’t know if this is what you are after, and I don’t have my example before me now to include here, but I have used tabplay successfully by importing values from a text file to a table (is that GEN23? - can’t remember) and then let tabplay vary a k-rate signal according to values in the table. The values were recorded values for revolutions per minute of an engine, and by setting the global kr value to the rate of recorded rpm values (1kHz for a standard vehicle CAN-bus), I was able to replay a rpm sweep of the engine using our synthesized engine sound and compare it to the corresponding audio recording. 
I also imagine one could record MIDI data from twiddling knobs into a table in order to play it back as needed, kind of like a simple MIDI sequencer. 
For my case I found tabplay very useful and I don’t recall having any trouble adapting the manual example to my needs. 

Regards,
Anders

Thank you; that almost makes sense.  I hope it is OK but I adjusted your 
example a little and used it (with acknowledgement) in the manual.
