yeah....i have the "manual " thats floating around and its pretty unhelpful on this subject. but ill get in and fiddle some more glad to see you got it working . thats actually pretty helpful ., let ya know .

@ RG ,thats ok id only need 1 sample. for what i use it for,i just use the amiga to make my jp-8000 not sound so clean when i use the pads and some cut single samples off record  i want to pitch . so no biggie. im also using an ensoniqe mirage for the same reason. i just use the amiga on principle because i love it .
and i appreciate the feedback . but that doesnt help with the fact that octamed wont sample to begin with . hmm

well first i would like to use the midi controller  to play the samples ,,second i would like to be able to sequence the midi data through my mpc 2500.

an image of a dude with a dragon mask top down playing keyboards comes up as a splash screen yeah .and yeah i have messed with the buffer values .

ok,so i have an amiga 500 with a phoenix sampling card plugged in the back.i started using Protracker and i could sample in that all day long no problems. Then i got a midi box for the amiga so i wanted to use a tracker that supported midi so i started using octamed 4. If i try and sample in octamed 4  i get nothing, even when i "monitor" the sound nothing comes through . If i run protracker again it samples just fine .
what is going on  ? why would one program sample and the other will not . very frustrating .
