[tabread], [tabread4]


2 remarks:
i propose to use tables because you are talking about short samples, so
there is no need to put them on hard disk (which is slow and therefore
only good if you need your RAM elsewhere)

[tabread] is just for starters, when you know what you are doing; while
you can basically do "everything" with it, it might be uncomfortable.
(but otoh it is plain pd)
more advanced table analysis tools are in the vbap and the iem_tab
libraries.

but imo, you really should go and try to do it with [tabread], if only
for the sake of portability and learning.
