You can do somthing like MSP poly~ with Pd poly and switch~ or route and 
switch~.
The (64+64+64+13) example can be corrected by knowing when its going to end, ie 
sheduling the next one when that one is fired, as long as its longer than 1 
block (64samples). You need to store the name of the file with the file lenght. 
then  somthing with the del object. better with alternating 2 players (readsf~, 
table or other).

Subject: Re: [PD] How's Pd limited?

You can do this with MSP's poly~ too but I'm guessing that the CPU costs are 
quite heavy. Moreover, there are operators in gen that are designed for 
low-level operations.

One great advantage of maxmsp is gen, which gives you sample-level patching 
with the possibility of a one-sample delay.






you can use [block~ 1 1 1] in a pd subpatch.

    David,



    One thing I attempted and couldn't find a solution for was the following, 
mostly owing to the limitation of interfacing with a 64 sample block size.



    I wanted to have a directory of hundreds of audio recordings. Each one 
would be a single wavelength from an interesting sound, like a bass clarinet, 
marimba, harpsichord, tambourine, etc. Each would begin and end at a zero 
crossing so you could chain them together to make complex timbres. They could 
be chained in sequence, randomized, or loaded in meta-data-matched chunks. I 
ran into a problem figuring out how to trigger the next sound based on the 
ending of the last sound in a sample accurate way. Sound file loading or even 
buffer playback triggering waits until the start of the next block size before 
it updates. If you have a waveform that lasts 205 samples (64+64+64+13), you 
have a gap of 51 silent samples before the next waveform would start. Not only 
do you not get the continuous sound you want, this winds up creating a periodic 
pattern with a frequency of 689 Hz (44100/64).



    David, I like your idea "what (if anything) someone tried to do in Pd, but 
couldn't given its limitations". I think this could be a wonderful challenge if 
we could have a monthly thread like this where the best minds among us come up 
with solutions to some of the hardest conceptual challenges in Pd.



    I'm still struggling with loading dozens of files, audio dropouts, and 
other similar problems. Someone else expressed frustration about Pd's 
single-threaded status. I too have feared upgrading my computer based on the 
limitations of current multicore processors (although realistically I think we 
can all look at the "turbo-boost" level or whatever Intel calls it to determine 
where our processor might run with a demanding patch. I understand the fact 
that you can't run your audio process on multiple cores, because it is a linear 
process. It would be great if the GUI could run on a second core, a process 
that loads audio into memory could run on third core, while GEM could 
automatically run on a fourth core. I don't have any concept of how feasible 
that would be, though. Does the GUI in pd-l2orc run on a separate core?

        One thing I'd be interested in knowing about is what (if anything)

        someone tried to do in Pd, but couldn't given its limitations (apart

        from look/feel/convenience issues).
