if yes, it's possible to "preload" one file in "track" 5 with out interrupting the track 1 play?

is this possible?
preload 8 diferent 
mono wav files 
on only one

I don't think so. However, you can combine these files using software like Audacity. Or, you could use 8 sfplay~s and trigger them with a signal, so they're sample accurate.

Yes, even 100..., they will all play on output 1...

Typically a question you could answer yourself by simply trying...

Trial and error is the best method to learn all about Max...

Your homework could have looked like the patch below...

i know that i can preload lots of files on one [sfplay~] object.

what i'm tring to do is something like (image 2), but with the funcionality of the (image 1).

see the next patch to look at the images.

i'm looking for a way to play 8 diferent files at the same time.

note - the image 1 is too "heavy" for CPU.

are you sure that it is an cpu problem? I've tried 8 sfplay~objects together on my pretty aged 1.25 Ghz Alu-Powerbook and DSP Status is 4%...

> note - the image 1 is too "heavy" for CPU.

No its not!!! This is all very light on any CPU...

And for your "problem", just use the image 1, it gives you the 

functionality you want, just forget anything which doesn't give you 

As what you want is usually called polyphonie, you could also have a 

look at poly~, but it would make it neither more easy nor less "heavy"...
