but if you have the data within Pd before saving, can't you just save it
in a format that allows resizing?
e.g. using [soundfiler] and write it into a floating-point soundfile.
this will:
- allow for efficient resizing on read
- use a much more space efficient format for storage (and thus be faster)
- use a format for storage that requires way less translation (and thus
be faster)
- have more resolution

[array]s understand any access method knwon from [table]s...
