I think with tabread4~ you have to use the onset in the right inlet for
reading longer files.
How long are the samples?
some other options you may have:
some which i tried, without much success though..:
linuxsampler/qsampler
unfortunately, each time I tried (in the past few years), to trigger samples
from pd-alsamidi>qsampler (using qjackctl), the timing is just too
unstable/irregular, even when running pd -noaudio.
[fluid~] (crashes pd here when I load a soundfont and turn on dsp...)
ymmv
