The best solution I can think of is to use 2 tabread4~'s, crossfading for every pass of the loop. Anybody have a better idea?
I know I could just use a softsynth for this, but in a beautiful reversal, in this case it's actually easier to use pd.
Take that, propellerhead.
I believe that your solution for the loop is the "classic" solution that most samplers implement.
I didn't understand your comments about the soft synth though - are you saying that you think it's easier making a sampler in PD, than using a pre-made sampler? That seems a surprising conclusion, based on my own dabbling trying to create a sampler in Pd versus using software samplers (though the one I like best NI Intakt, which is more for one-shots, beat-slicing, and loops, and not for multi-samples).
