- I think it would be an awsome Idea but, I would have to agree that editing
- would
- be a pain. It would be possible to gear everything tword floppy bassed
- virtual samples. Each sample could simply have an access time tag
- associated with it. A 100K sample, for instance, might need 20 seconds to
- load.
-
- For non floppy based or optimized situations, the tracker could time each
- sample access time.
-
- The tracker would basically have to keep a time based memory management
- array.
- When ever the user wanted to load in a big sample, some others would
- naturally have to go away. The tracker would simply have to do some
- looking ahead to make sure none of what was being gotten rid of is going to
- be needed in the near future.
-
- I think it is possible and would be an excellent option.
