Class MultiTimbralManager

java.lang.Object

toxi.audio.MultiTimbralManager

public class MultiTimbralManager
extends Object

Implements a manager to play a number of shared samples in a multitimbral manner without interrupting/restarting the playback of currently playing sources. This is different to the default JOAL way of accessing sources directly. The manager is keeping track of active sources and will attempt to assign free ones for newly requested playbacks. If all voices are active, the oldest one will be stopped and used as the newly requested voice.
