it consists of an audio server ("scsynth" + a multi-threaded re-implementation called "supernova"), an interpreted scripting language ("sclang") and an IDE ("scide"). It's very different to Pd but it's worth taking a look.

Thanks to all of you for your quick replies!
I will check out all of your suggestions and @Christoph, looking forward for your worker thread implementations.
I have never heard of Supercollider, would that help my in any way?
 
Cheers! Jakob

Betreff: Re: [PD] Raspberry Pi: Loading Samples RAM problem
another trick is to use [readsf~] in an upsampled subpatch.

BTW, I have ideas for adding a worker thread to Pd (similar to Supercollider), which would help solving a lot of Pd's realtime-safety issues. I want to do that in the next couple of weeks when I have more time.
