Hello. I found an interesting paper on intervention schedules. The author Curtis Abbott worked at Lucasfilm and the paper is only one of the series of papers written by them. Their system had multiple DSP processors and multiple control computers with automation. We are doing similar real-time system in software.
In any case, the paper is at "http://www.funet.fi/~kouhia/abbott-ischedules.tar.gz"; for a couple of days only as I'm not the copyright owner. Anyone has the following papers. These are also related to my search on prior-art for so called Gigasampler patent. IMHO, we do not need prior art for caching (and keeping) the first part of each audio clip to memory, but there are people who are willing to weaken their open source software volunteerly. J.M.
