I need advice as to the simplest, most efficient looping opcode to do the 
following:

1) files/samples are approximately 10 minutes in length, stereo;
2) 4 files/samples played simultaneously;
3) simple end-to-end looping (no release loop);
4) no pitch shift; no cross-fading;
5) all 4 files/samples start at the beginning and play continuously 
(always-on "notes").

There is *one special requirement*:
I want each file/sample to start at a different point in the file/sample 
(i.e., different "skiptime" or "phase") and for this start-point to be 
randomly selected at i-time. I'd also *prefer* to specify this point in 
seconds (to avoid having to deal with sample lengths/formats, etc.)

I don't know if it is the most efficient, but I believe diskin2 does
what you are asking for. I feel like most questions regarding loscil
on this list have been resolved with the suggestion to use diskin2.
It takes skiptime in seconds too, if i'm not mistaken.

Or simply oscillators reading tables (poscil for instance). This does  
not sound too complicated.

Loading 40 minutes of audio samples into f-tables doesn't sound like a
great plan to me?
