Firstly, thanks to everyone who gave responses to my query regarding triggering samples. I'm looking into a number of the different options, and I think it's about time I worked out how to use pd! I have a new challenge/question :-) My latest purchase, a MicroKorg synthesiser, has MIDI connectors which I have hooked up to my soundcard's game port. I've set the required settings on the Korg, WTF do I do now? :-)))) I've had a quick Google around at documentation, but if anyone could recommend a good tutorial/book/site for setting this kind of thing up then I'd be much obliged! I downloaded the new version of Dynebolic the other day. Another fine release, something that I'm regularly recommending to friends and fellow home recording geeks. cheers daniel www.soundclick.com/theparallelrise www.soundclick.com/onionjack www.southlondonlive.org
