Hi Peter,
I assume you use the GPIO buttons method for this.
Principally samplerbox aborts the load if you change preset again, so you jump through the sets. However it has to recognize the the button 'next" press. The GPIO method has a delay between recognizing presses to avoid "bumping" of the scan of the hardware switches.
And yes, recognizing the next "allowed" keypress might also suffer some delay because of the unwanted load -this is more related to the size of the individual samples than to the size of the set.
A 0,1 sec delay in starting loading will delay every set load. Nobody (including you) will be happy with that.
The biggest delay is in the loading of the final set.
I can imaging that your example is tedious.
Principally sampler box gives high quality when using 3 or 4 defined notes which could trim down your samples to 22 keys.
Of course you can have a good reason (pipe organs with character/pipe, reed-organs with character/key, authentic mellotron samples etc). However all these samples don't need 4 layers.
But again: you may have very good reason for this - in that case I'm interested to know more. If you register on the forum, you can send me private message if required.
Message in between lines above: going for the highest quality is not always audible, but may increase load time significantly.
Other options to tackle this issue:
Regards, Hans

Other options to tackle this issue:
- use program up/down buttons on your midi device(keyboard) or assign control buttons to these functions.
these midi buttons don't need/have the physical limitation needing above described "bumping" delay.
- use the webinterface/UI
- optimize your samples:
- if 24 bit, convert to 16 (samplerbox uses 16 bit internally anyway)
- trim unneeded tails like extra data after the first loop (never used, but take care keep any sampled release parts) or long silence after audible fadeout (these will delay load as if they are real sound).
