[PD] Clearing and Copying an array

[Derek Holzer]

Hi Raffael,

Keep in mind that copying between arrays at faster than audio speed may 
give the same kind of glitches you get when you use [soundfiler] to load 
audio into an array.  For this reason I wouldn't recommend it during a 
live performance.

My recommendation would be to either use several arrays which you can 
switch between, or make one long array and switch between active "zones" 
in the array for different loops. STEIM's LiSa live-sampling program 
takes the second approach, by the way...

Best!
Derek
