Hi Atte,
Now that you're on your way with sssad, there's a nice trick you should know. If you find that loading a preset causes dropouts, consider using a ram disk to hold your presets during performance. This solved all my dropout problems, and it's easy to do (I can post a script for OS X if anyone wants it).

Pd-extended is broken in that it cannot load abstractions that are in directories which have the same name as the abstraction. At least that's how I understand the problem. Users of upstream Pd like me aren't affected.
I see. I found this has been has been discussed very recently, and I read the thread, and feel somewhat enlightend.
Maybe it's the same issue of pd-extended that makes it fail to load [sssad]? I have no idea.
After moving sssad* to extra (see below) sssad-help.pd also works. Seems to be related...
Additional question: I never saw the slash in objects (like in [sssad/ssad]) before, it that some kind of namespace thing? Where can I read more on that, including pros/cons and recommended ways/conventions?
Can of worms here, you may want to read up in the archives.
Thanks for the heads up!
As a workaround you can move the content of extra/sssad into the "extra" directory or another directory of your Pd-path.
Ok, that seems to work. I can even make sssad-example.pd load/restore form file. That's great, now I have something working and play with that and see where it takes me.
