Hello everyone ! Can any one please help me with a problem, i would like to read data from my sampler in the C-code but i cant make it. I've been using the parallel port device and it will only hang during read. My sampler works fine with the AudiomasterII program but maybe that program reads from the parallel port direct without going through the parallel.device . Does any one know how to do this or have any clues ? Thanks in advance! Lars Berntzon mcsun!sunic!spader!lab CAP Gemini Logic Techno AB

It may be that you have to do a dummy read to start your sampler hardware followed by a series of reads. (IE if your code only does one read, you get nowhere..) I built myself a cheap sampler that works with the psound software. My sampler chip Starts a new conversion from the handshake pulse that occurs when you read the parallel port. The first read from my sampler would give me a sample from the last time I used the thing. If non of this applies, maybe your sampler requires a previous write to the parallel port before you read it... Gord Wait

Does any one know how to do this or have any clues ? A sampler is _not_ a standard parallel port device. Parallel.device will almost certainly be confused by it (it's always got data ready.). You have to read the hardware direct, preferably using a CIA timer to insure the correct sampling frequency. Be sure to allocate the resources you're going to use before you touch them. BTW, if you've got a perfect sound 3.0, you've got serious problems. <mike --
