Hallo Johannes!
i am using the tabplay~ object to play out of 48 arrays. it takes alot of time to load the samples in the arrays.
However, you can also try to stream it directly from the harddisk with [readsf~] - then you don't have to load them at all !

gruss georg,
i want to loop 4*4 samples at the same time. will readsf~ be good for that?
It depends: You can just reopen the files of course. remeber to first send the "open ..." command before sending another 1 to resume playing. If this will be smooth depends on your material, but maybe you can mask the transition a bit, for example by using two readsf~ to play the same file and start them slightly shifted (maybe prepare your soundfiles accordingly).
Another possibility is for example illustrated in the class material Tom Erbe just posted: It shows how you can load only part of a sample into a table. See: http://music.ucsd.edu/~tre/172/w6a-soundfilerbuffering.pd http://music.ucsd.edu/~tre/classblog.php
(Probably works best with a threaded soundfiler.)
And finally you can combine the partial soundfiler loading ("-skip ...") with readsf~ playing by loading e.g. the beginning of a sample into a table and then switch over to playing the rest of the sample from disk with readsf~. You can do this to smooth out possible loop-point clicks as well by fading out readsf~ and switching over to table-playing again.
Lots of possibilities, some slightly hackish, but that's part of the fun.
