Hello All,
i'm working on a simple program using a GUI and Csound via API.
Csound needs to load some soundfiles in GEN 1 tables and this require some time.
But my GUI is not waiting :)
Is there a way to know when csound has loaded all the files and is ready to play them?

Thanks,
ciao,
francesco.

You can use ftgen to load these in an instrument. Since the code is sequential,
it will block until done. Then you can signal your gui by setting a channel.

instr ...
ival init 0
chnset ival, "loaded"
ifn ftgen  ...
ifn2 ftgen ...
ival = 1
chnset ival, "loaded"
endin

This whole action is at i-time, so the event
triggering this instrument can have p3 zero.

In your gui, you can check the channel value
and block until it's true.
