You are smoking crack. Wait! No you are not! It works! Exactly like you said. For some reason I thought the A5K forced you to use the three effects blocks in the Record section, even though I have recorded from the stereo outs with effects before. Silly me. I think you are right about the --> Save option, too. Here's what the manual says: "-> Save ... The recorded sample will automatically be saved to disk and erased from memory AFTER recording has finished. This makes it possible to record mono samples longer than 32 megabytes and stereo samples longer than 64 megabytes if enough memory is available. NOTE -> Only the first 32 (mono) or 64 (stereo) megabytes of samples longer than 32 or 64 megabytes saved to disk can be loaded into the sampler's memory at a time. HINT -> When -> Save is selected the recordable sample size is only limited by the amount of space abailable on the disk used. This capability is useful when you want to record a long musical segment or even a complete song to CD using the CD-DA command." One more caveat about the A4/5000: Maximum hard disk size is 8GB. Maximum partition size is 1GB. So, the best you can do is an 8GB drive with 8 partitions, 1GB each. Which, really, is quite a bit of space, considering the sampler can only hold 128MB at a time. The other thing is that the A5K isn't using a standard DOS/Windows or Mac format for their partitions/files, so I don't think you can access the hard drive partitions via SCSI, even if you have a drive hooked to both your puter and the sampler. Haven't tried it though... Hell, I was wrong about everything else, why not this, too? :) There is a utility called "Disky" (http://ampfea.org/~jay/disky/), written by a fellow named Jay Vaughn (runs the ampfea.org Music-Bar list), which I believe may let you pull files directly off the A5K's hard disks. But I'm having a hard time getting it to run, so I can't say for sure. Adaptec's ASPI driver installer isn't working for me (anyone have any suggestions for a WinXP Professional user, regarding this?). :( It's a fucking mess. -J
