Clemens Many thanks for the input, however I cannot seem to get the linear to work after a multi, even if after a multi -> rate -> linear -> slave. Anything that I do that specifies a format after the multi seems to fail. Is there another way you could recommend maybe instead of using the multi for sample copying?
