So I am about to embark on my quest to port my drum sample setup over to Max from Ableton Live.

I've been looking at polybuffer~ and it seems really ideal for handling loading of whole folders of material, but I was wondering if any of you had experience with such things? Do you use poly~, do you not - and why/why not?

My system is such that I only ever play 9 samples at a time, so in that sense it's rather modest, but I do need to switch sound sets quickly.

yes . i did the same but with 127 buffers . in the past ,when i wanted to have multisampler type of thing ive been forced to maintain simple buffers with JS (creation on the fly , connection , loading ) - and it was fun . now with polybuffer im just loading :D there is no reason to work on such thing without polybuffer . im also doing operations with [peek] through it as before on buffers . its easy to address appropriate single buffer instance as well reference it with playing object .

not in poly . as poly would multiplicate your objects in memory considering amount of voices . as for poly itself you need only your playing object there (beside other per voice operations) . for your situation is a way better to leave polybuffer outside poly . as you need to reference it only
