Moved max number of samples/voices (Read 542 times)

Moved max number of samples/voices
Feb 18th, 2008, 11:16pm  

I'm making a sample playback engine with minim. I started out using AudioSnippets, but couldn't get more than 32 snippets to load. After 32 I get:

loading: 33.wav
=== Minim Error ===
=== Error obtaining clip: No Free Voices

So I switched to AudioSamples. They load fine (no errors), but when I play() a sample above 32 there's no sound.

Is 32 some sort of hard limit to the number of samples that can be loaded?

thanks,
douglas

I believe 32 is a limit within JavaSound which both minim and ESS are built on.

ESS seems to allow more (at least 130) samples ...

I think ESS doesn't bind samples to channels until you want to use them, but there'll still be a limit of at most 32 playing at once I believe.
