Hi Jaime,
Thanks for the suggestion, and for further clarifying (in my mind) what I'll need. I think readsf~ won't do because of the "open before play" requirement -- it will introduce latency and prevent re-triggering, if I'm not mistaken.
I guess it's going to be a matter of loading as many tables in memory as I can get away with and using tabread4~ with a phasor.
I think with tabread4~ you have to use the onset in the right inlet for reading longer files. How long are the samples? some other options you may have: some which i tried, without much success though..: linuxsampler/qsampler unfortunately, each time I tried (in the past few years), to trigger samples from pd-alsamidi>qsampler (using qjackctl), the timing is just too unstable/irregular, even when running pd -noaudio. [fluid~] (crashes pd here when I load a soundfont and turn on dsp...) ymmv gr, Tim
Thanks for writing,
Phil

Hi Phil,
if they'll always play from the beginning and the only control you need is amplitude, then I would try readsf~.

OK, this was probably too broad a way to pose this. Let me try it this way: I'm not concerned with looping, re-sampling or sample-rate changing. I simply want a low-latency trigger of a sound file from an incoming event. The file(s) may, however, be quite large.
So, is a phasor-scanned [tabread4~] the best way to go about this? Will memory management become an issue if I have 44 or 88 of these large samples in memory at once?
thanks,
Phil

Hello collective PD mind,
Despite having worked with PD for years, I've never used it as a sample player. I have a project coming up where I will need to build a bank of MIDI-keyboard-triggered samples to play in real-time, with velocity sensitivity and one sample per key. Rather than reinvent the wheel, is there something someone has already done along this line? If not, can anyone give me a basic outline from which I can start?
