i'm learning max/msp but this stuff is really complicated but really good...

i'm looking into get a max file to play more than one sampler at the time, anybody can help me at all with it?

also, i'm looking for a good forum web site about this kind of questions

Hi, I have just started learing MAX/MSP as well.

I know that MAX can do what you are wanting to do as I have seen it done but I do not know how to do it yet.

As for forums try http://www.synthesisters.com/cgi-bin/WebX ro do a search for MAX/MSP Forum on Google.

Hope this helps.

i think i can help you but before, i need to know what exactly you mean by "sampler" - as this object does not exists as far as i know.

sorry about 'sampler' !!!
i mean, i want play audio files like with reaktor i can play 8 or more audio files at the same time.

do you know any patch or object?

BTW. thanks for the help soo far

i recently had to read 40 mono files at the same time and mix/record them on 24 tracks after filtering, ... I did it real time with max - which is really easy in fact. You have to important objects for that :
groove~ - reads sounds placed in the RAM by the buffer~ object
sfplay~ - reads directly from the hard disk.

These two objects are really different but it should be enough for what you are talking about. If you have a good HD and a good CPu and enough RAM - if you have a good computer - you can read up to 45 mono sf at the same time.
