readanysf~ is ideal for me because I don't have to load *n* samples into *n *arrays where *n *is the number of files in a folder and could be any number. The user might then request a new folder during performance which would then require the number of arrays to change while many sound files are loaded simultaneously.
I can conceive of ways of doing this, like with nqpoly~. It's a tradeoff. Instead of playing files from the ssd, instead I'm trying to read them into memory before playing them from memory, which takes time and can cause audio-drop outs.

isn't readanysf~ just a more comprehensive version of readsf~ ? ie. it plays back files directly from the hard drive?
I'd think you'd be best advised to load your samples into tables and play them back with [tabplay~] or [tabread4~] with that many at once.

Dear list,
I was tasked with building a sampler that reads back all the samples in a directory, sequentially or randomly, with variable speed, polyphonic playback. The subsequent object is then implemented multiple times.
After a short amount of time, however, the GUI becomes unresponsive. I can still manipulate the values of the GUI objects, but I won't see them update. In addition, the Pd window Log 0 and above starts throwing (Tcl) INVALID COMMAND NAME errors as you can see below. I'm guessing this is has to do with not being able to read from the SSD quickly enough with around 100 overlapping voices being loaded in a short amount of time? I'm not really hearing any audio dropouts.
I noticed that readanysf~ has some arguments. I'm hoping they might make this process more efficient, but I don't understand them. Does anyone know of any better documentation for readanysf~? The arguments are 1) number of channels (mono, stereo, 3-chan, 4-chan, etc.), 2) number of "frames" in the internal buffer --I don't understand how this effects the object--, and 3) number of samples per frame in internal buffer --nor do I understand how this might affect performance. I'm going to play around with these arguments to see if it helps, but if anyone can weigh in with an explanation, I'd appreciate it.
Also, if anyone has a more efficient method for doing what I'm attempting, please, let me know.
Thank you, Sam
