HI, I have XP pro(upgrade)and am running pulsar 3.1 at the moment. When I try to create a new sample, even though everythingseems to go OK, when I play the sample back from an external midi player ie keyboard or sequencer, all I get is a very high pitched sound.
Can anybody help?
Cheers

Funny, I had that problem but really can't remember how I fixed it ! Try changing the setting of the sample from 'track' to 'constant' or whatever it is called, and see whether the sample plays at the correct pitch. If it doesn't then it may be a problem with the sample rate of the sample you are using (if you had 22 khz sample played at 44 khz it would come out twice as fast).
If it doesn't come out wrong, then you could try adjusting the pitch of the sample.
BTW all these things are done in the screen where the links to your samples are shown.

And I too had a weird effect when trying to record a 3+ minute stereo sample into the STS4000 at 24bits 48KHz under Win XP.

The meters display the sound properly and the sample saves, but on playback contains just a loud "scrreeeeech" and lots of noise.

Now, interestingly enough, shorter samples recorded OK.

And I was able to record the exact same sample with the exact project/settings under Win ME fine... I kept my ME installation as a dual boot for such reasons :cool:

The memory display still shows about 360MB free (512MB physical RAM) under XP, and a little less this when running ME.

Pasting the recorded sample into Logic or whatever shows that the file is corrupted.

I run SFP 3.1 on a SCOPE Z-Link card with A16 Ultra, PIII 1.1GHz, 512MB RAM, SCSI hard drives.

So, what's up with the STS4000 with long samples under WinXP?
