How can I dynamically create counting arrays?
I've got a counter stepping a [makefilename sound%d] going to a [set $1] going into a [tabwrite~] object and I think this is all working, except now I need to dynamically create the arrays sound1, sound2, sound3, etc.
Also, I'm hoping to pump this up to about 200 tracks, once recorded they playback continuously. I've created separate, static programs to do this, and have run thirty simultaneously with good results. BIG hickups when opening files (a bug? PD 3.6 on 10.2.8), but other than that, very clean sound. Do I need to manage voices, or is that only for midi? I don't understand the voices concept within PD, and haven't found how many PD can support. Where's a good conceptual discussion of PD and Voices.
Of course, if necessary, I can share this load over three networked machines, two G4 OS X and one Linux.
Thanks in advance,
Dan
