Hey Greg,
I wonder what would happen if you split your 8-channel files and played them simultaneously as 4-channel soundfiles...
how long are the files? if they're not so long, and you've got a computer with a lot of memory, you might be able to load them all to RAM. if they're, say, 10 minutes each, and you have 8, then thats 10*60*44100*8 channels * 4 bytes (32 bit sample data) = 810MB of data. hrm. perhaps not..
And as Greg uses 88200 kHz samplerate, it's twice as much. ;)
there were several discussions on this list about the precision problem when using [tabread*] with big tables (above 16777216 samples not every sample can be accessed anymore). i wonder now, wether this applies as well to [tabplay~], or is this one not using some kind of indexing, but just plays samples consecutively?
as an alternative: assuming the files were in 16 bit, wouldn't it make more sense to create a ramdisk and store all wav-files there in order to read them with [readsf~]? this way you would save half of the amount, because they are stored as 16 bit instead of 32 bit then.
