You can't compare this card with a synthesizer or a sampler. This card is not
intended for that use. Basicly, laying sound on video is the main purpose
of this version of the card. 8 tracks is mighty good and will surely attract
a lot of musicians to this board (when the digital IO comes...).

If it's MONO, have you checked which channel (LEFT or RIGHT) your digitiser 
sends on and which the software receives?

If it's STEREO, please mail me the schematics and I'll have a go, I build a 
mono one and it works fine.

Also, is it self powered or powered by the A500? Not all A500s, as I have 
heard, can supply the power for the digitiser (you might be one of the 
unlucky few).

OK, it's not much but it might help...

Well :).  Our system was down for the past few days (week?), so I had no
other way to spend my free time than to work on my old mod projects... I
choose to add to the techno one.  At this point, I'm pretty impressed with
myself (heh).  A lot of it sounds generic now, but if I were to listen to
the completed mod for the first time, I'm sure I'd like it better :).
I'm working on filling up all the patterns (well, 64 of 'em, since I use
PT1.1b)... and my top priority is to get it to the nets before I move in
about a week.  I've already run out of good ideas for effects & stuff, so
most of the remaining patterns will probably be spent on one thing: Making
the mod longer so it doesn't end quite so soon...and I can't concentrate
on changing the pace that often (what I'm saying is that towards the end it
will lose variety... but it'll still fit into the Techno genre, IMHO :).
Also, sample space has become a serious problem for me.  I could add variety
if I had more samples to play with, but I'm running out of ways to add 'em.

A fair warning: I've already taken the position of "Who cares how large it
is as long as it sounds fair?"... the mod is already over 300K big... but
after I cut around a bit it could drop to 285K or so, even after I add the
remaining 15 patterns or so... bored stiff yet? :)

I was looking for the same library and couldn't find it with archie, so I
send e-mail to author.  In his response he told me to look for xpl.lzh of
 .lha (use archie) or wait untill September 1st for world premiere (I think)
of that library.  Xpkmaster is written by Urban Dominik Mueller (sorry for
non-german u, can't find it on my keybord) and his friends.  You can
write to him at umueller@amiga.pysik.unizh.ch.
I hope this helps.

I couldn't agree more.  I've been waiting for the 16 bit board since first
announced -- only to discover I'll probably have to settle for a Messy-DOS
based solution instead.  I wanted a hard-disk based system on the same
machine I do sequencing on with an AES/EBU port for various other equipment I
have.

This really screwed up *my* plans.

  Actually, that isn't quite true.  I'm running 2.04, and DMCS tends to
  hang quite often when I try to quit out of it.  I really hope they come

Okay, I went to fire up Audio Engineer to look at this before I said anything 
I could not back up and found (to my surprise) that AE caused JRComm to hang 
up.  Then it shut down so I *still* could not check on this, but as I recall 
(ain't it sad, I was working with the digitizer yesterday and I *still* can't 
recall what I was doing) the way to change the sample rate with AudioMaster 
(same thing as AEPII) without manglnig the sound effect is to load the effect 
to the main screen and then select the tune waveform option.   What you then 
do is to enter the value you want for Cycles Per Second (it is a lot easier to 
type the number than try to slide the indicator) and hit return.  The software 
will automatically change the cycles to the nearest value it accepts.  the 
next step is to hit the RESAMPLE gadget and wait until it is done.  BTW you 
will need to indicate the range of the sample you want to change before you 
can do this or you will get a requester box reminding you to do so.
 
I hate to ask, but are you using a legit copy?  I thought the docs were pretty 
clear on this.  IF you haven't been using a legit copy then do yourself (and 
the designers) a favour and go out and buy a copy.  There is a lot of power to 
AMIII (even more in AMIV) and you really won't get the full possibilities 
without the docs.  If you do have a legit copy, I apologize for the implied 
slights to you.  Regardless, hope this helps and that you find worknig with 
sound on your Amiga as fascinating as the rest of us!  :)

Maybe I was a little unclear on what I wanted to do.  I want to be able to

the playback speed in half, but the sample plays an octave down.

Thanks again!

I still can't seem to get them to work though.
I discovered that the current version of ulaw2svx needs 2.0 roms

Also, Soundzap tells me that the .au files are unsupported compression formats
