i was thinking... why limiting the number of samples being played simultaneously to 6... i never built a patch like that, but i guess it's a little bit like a synth where you can trig lots of notes together (poly something). so dynamic xgroove~ depending on how much notes i am playing? hum... i guess i am thinking too much and too loud. will do some homeworks and ask real question sorry...
I think, the problem more is how to load so many samples clickfree into memory. As samples loaded into an array get blown up in size, for 300 2MB samples you already need a lot of memory. It probably will be better to load only the samples to play currently and next into memory, and reuse the tables that store the samples to save memory.
If the samples only need to be played, [readsf~] would be the easiest, almost trivial solution to this. If you need [table]-based processing things will be quite a bit trickier, as soundfiler in standard Pd can lead to dropouts. pd-devel can be one way out, using [readsf~] to write into a [table] faster than realtime could be another way (by upsampling using [block~]).
