[PD] soundfiler alternative?

[José Rafael Subía Valdez]

Thank you Lucas and Ingo,

well. I do need to load a lot of samples if I want them preloaded.
Regarding the ram post that you sent, as I understand, that is exactly what
table does, as it stores it in RAM (am I right?)

Ingo, if I understand correclty, I need to record the audio from readsf~
into a table. this means that I need to create the record system to avoid
clicks (fades in and out). This seams overcomplicated for a simple thing.
But it appears to be the only solution for this problem.

thanks .. anyone else?
