I need to automatically load 1.000 soundfiles into either a single or seperate buffers and then trigger each file by a footswitch controller....

I can create the control section of the patch, but I need a convenient way to load the samples into the buffer(s) with ques etc

I think it is preferable to load the files in buffers because I' ll be able to process them and also pick up specific parts of them.

Also I might use some algorithms to trigger more than 100 files at once and i am afraid that my HD speed is not sufficient enough for this

You can script that quite easily. Just create a buffer for each sound

file in a folder.

If you could send me your patch at some point that would be great.

for "batch" tasks, I often use poly~, even for control-only ones.

Save this as "polybuffer~.help" or something :

yes, I tried .aif files, but it does not work for me, hm.

Manually replacing the buffer with the Soundfile "xxx.wav" in the 

"polybuffer~ (1..) give no error and loads fine.
