Hey Everyone,

I just started using processing, and am very pleased.  Got an app up and running in one night.  Progressed blazingly fast compared to trying to do the same project in Visual Studio.

I'm looking for a recomend for which audio library to use.  My goal is to mimic a very basic sampler.  I'll load several .wav files, like a series of drum sounds.  Then use the keyboard or a controller to trigger the sounds.

I've got Ess up and running, but with some issues.  I've got to supress multiple retriggers from the same key press.  And To retrigger the same sound, I have to stop() then play().  It hiccups quite a lot when retriggering the same sound multiple times quickly.  I have ideas, like have multiple channels for the same sample, and toggle playback, so that I don't have a single overloaded channel, etc...

Before I spend a bunch of time investigating... Does anyone else have experience with the various sound libraries?  Is Ess good for this type of work, or should I be looking at a different one?  There are 9 listed on Processing's libraries page.  Figured I'd ask around before investigating all of them to save some time.

Thanks!
