Is there for PD on Windows any possibility to have an oscillator bank with say 50 to 100 oscillators, that accepts a list of 50 to100 components to set/change the frequencies of this oscillators dynamically, possibly smooth with a line~ object?
Yes, of course. You just have to build it ;-) I recommend making a single abstraction that you can reuse multiple times. For bonus points, you could use [nqpoly4] to dynamically create them at loadtime (instead of copy/paste x 100!).
How can I best read in large amount of multichannel data, to conveniently control such an oscillator bank?
I would look at [pack] and [unpack] as a way or creating compound messages consisting of several floats. Also, [msgfile] might not be the best thing to use to save and load values. I've had very good luck with [col] as a way of storing and retrieving information, especially paths to files in my own case. Other people also use [pool]. Frank Barknecht's set of Memento abstractions would be a good place to look as well, since it uses [pool] and OSC to save and load presets. Lastly, you might look into [matrix] or [matrix~] as a way of handling large amounts of control information for your oscillator banks.
