Hello all,
I'm finding very little in terms of options for the 500ms delay in rendering when loading an image file. I can't use a movie because my images need to be masked. Can't use pix_multiimage because I'm talking about about 800 images, called up on the fly.
So is it possible that the pix_image image loader be put in a seperate thread? (or all the pd/gem disk IO ideally) Is anyone working on an experimental version of this I could use?
Or does anyone have any non-thread ideas so solve the render-stop problem?
Thanks all. Ben

Hi all,
The threaded version is readsf~ ... you can use it to gently read a soundfile into a table using tabwrite~.

hi list,
i'm doing a live set this week and i wish i would have mentioned
this sooner. it's getting to be the one most troubling thing about using pd live.
i'm running win2k pd .35-1 and i get about a one second delay
every time i use soundfiler to load a sample. i'm using the USB Quattro with ASIO (to good results) and the latency of everything else is acceptable.
is there any possibility that soundfiler could be put in a
seperate thread? are there any other options to load in a .wav file? these files aren't more than 1 or 2 megabytes, i'm suprised there's such a problem.
the only solution i can think of is to readsf~ the sound into a
table, as that seems to be threaded or something as to keep the sound from skipping.
ANY help at this late hour would be appreciated!
