<div>i have a little problem with my raspberry pi..</div>
<div>I have built an eight-track sample player patch that runs on a raspberry pi.</div>
<div>When the patch loads, it initially loads all the samples it finds in /home/pi/SamplePacks/SamplePack1, SamplePack2 etc..</div>
<div>into RAM using the standard approach:</div>
<div>- create two tables for each sample</div>
<div>- read data into tables with [read -resize table1 table2(</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Afterwards I use [soundfiler] and calculate the frequency for [phasor] and so on and so forth.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The patch works when I load a total amount of 500 gb into RAM.</div>
<div>Today I tested to load 9 GB of samples and the result (obviously) is the pi crashing.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have tested on a raspberry pi 2 and a raspberry pi 3. Both pis only have 1 GB of RAM so it's obvious that problems arise trying to load 9 GB of samples.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Do you have any hints or ideas how I could solve this problem? Loading from disk while performing is not an option (I think) because of audio pops.</div>
<div>Do you know any ways to extend the RAM of the pi?</div>
<div>Maybe you know of some other small boards like beagle or so that have more RAM than a pi.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you very much! Jakob</div>
