t3 uses time tagged triggers, samm~ sends clicks that are not time
tagged. BTW in Pd-extended, the helpfile for t3_sig~ relies on some
missing externals: for++, t3_del, and hpl~.

Both groove~ and xsample~ have a lot more features than player~. The
two features I likely about player~ are internal polyphony and
sample-accurate triggering. (Perhaps xsample~ can do that too?)
