If I have 10 sample players, but only need 8 note polyphony what would 
be the best way to use the 8 tables more efficiently? Am I right in 
concluding that using 8 soundfilers, arrays, tabplays is the most 
efficient way to create a 10 sound sample player? Will the reading of 
the file be fast enough that you will hear no apparent difference 
between the sounds already loaded into memory and the ones that need to 
be loaded and played at once?<br><br>you need 10 tables if you want to preload 10 sounds.  (unless of course you put multiple samples in a single table and then use offsets...etc,...but that&#39;s pretty pointless, probably)<br>
<br>you only need 1 soundfiler, and you can just use different messages to that to send the data to different tables<br><br>for 8 note poly, of course you need 8 separate tabplay~ objects<br><br>if you playback with either readsf~ or tabplay~, your sound would be 100% exactly the same, unless you have audio dropouts caused by overloading your machine, or unless you change the samplerate or something when loading.<br>
