thats pretty much all you gotta do man
cmd, system/midi
all the disk functions are in there
to load, just hit load and it will load up whatever storage device selected
wheres the 'finish' setting for the sample so it plays all the way out..i had it earlier, now i cant find it...?
i want to take advantage of the looping w/ some nice instrument samples. i was playing w/ some rotary speaker effects w/ reverb, amp, and filter trying get a realistic dirty rhodesish sound from a sample in the eps..it got pretty nice..but then i took it too far w/ the editing pages and it got washed-out. gotta keep the same less-is-more 60 mentality and use the effects w/ the end outcome in mind. when i just tinker w/ the effects i dont know when to stop, it so far has been sounding amazing except for some harsh 'verb at times..the envelopes are drastic, gotta get my head around those..havent gotten the lfo to really do much that was appealing yet...its gonna be another late night..

here try this
Select the wavesample, and then:
1) go to Edit->Env and select the CYCLE mode so that the wavesample plays to the end
2) go to Edit->Layer and select Glidemode==MONO so that the wavesample cuts itself off _________________ www.myspace.com/havdeaf www.soundclick.com/xeyeile

what kinda disks are you using?
do you have scsi to zip? or just using floppies?
the eps only takes DD disks, most people kno that already but I figured id throw it out anyway
also, most zip drives dont work without a terminator. I had to go to hell and back with converters and shit for my damn zip drive to work, ask D, he's seen the chain connection I got runnin off that shit
