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.
what is the best way to load the samples into the arrays in less time? is it more efficient to use 4 channel audio files with soundfiler?
I don't know but I don't think that this will make much difference - it takes some time till you copy the data in memory ... However, you can also try to stream it directly from the harddisk with [readsf~] - then you don't have to load them at all !
LG Georg
