[PD] Fw: Help to load sound

[Ed Kelly]

Hi Romain,


Please also read the other posts about the -maxsize option for soundfiler.
Sound quality for readsf~ is as good as it gets. The only difference is it reads the ound from the disk as it is playing, and this is better in that you can load a soundfile while playing the patch without dropouts. When you load a file into an array or [table] using soundfiler, the audio switches off for a moment, so you have to load all sounds before you start playing. With readsf~ you can load a new sound in the middle of a performance without affecting the audio.


Best,
Ed

>>>Alternatively, if you don't want to use the soundfile as though it were a table (i.e. if you  just want to play the file) it's better to use [readsf~]
