∙ THE SAMPSYN SOUND SAMPLER SOLUTION ∙
∙ ∙

This article explains how to convert the SAMPSYN sound sampler project to
work with other programs including SOUNDLAB, STEREO-MASTER and a number
of other programs. The SAMPSYN project can be found in the JULY 1990 issue
of the U.S. magazine, START. The project included software that was very
limited in both sample frequency and length of sample.
I built the project some time ago, but it then got put in a cupboard
because the software supplied on the disk was almost useless. When I
found the program SOUNDLAB, I decided to see if SAMPSYN would work. It
didn't, so I set about finding a solution. As it turns out, the solution
was very simple and is explained below and a schematic diagram is
supplied in DEGAS compressed format.
< Select 'Load Picture' from the drop-down menu >
< and load either SAMPSYN.PI1 (colour) or SAMPSYN.PI3 (mono) >
This modification will give SAMPSYN the performance and versatility of
some of the better mono samplers.
PLEASE NOTE THAT I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES INCURRED BY
DOING THIS MODIFICATION! IF YOU FOLLOW THE STEPS OUTLINED BELOW EXACTLY,
THEN YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS.
WHAT'S REQUIRED:-
A small soldering iron.
A double-pole-double-throw switch. (Preferably one which can be locked
in one position. e.g. RS 317-601 ). This makes it more difficult to
accidentally knock the switch.
A bit of wire.
INSTRUCTIONS
∙°∙°∙°∙°∙°∙°
1/ Disconnect the sampler from your ST AND from the mains power.
2/ Remove any casing which may be enclosing the circuit board.
3/ Get the switch and wire it as shown in the diagram. This is a
standard reversing switch configuration.
4/ Connect the wiring to the circuit board as shown in the diagram.
5/ That's it! Reconnect the sampler to your ST, apply power to the
sampler and the ST, load up your favourite sampler program and
go for it!
This modification MAY be adopted for other samplers, but I am unsure
which ones can be adapted.
One last thing. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CHANGE THE POSITION OF
THE SWITCH WHILE POWER IS APPLIED TO EITHER THE SAMPLER OR YOUR ST AS
THIS COULD DESTROY ONE OR BOTH PIECES OF EQUIPMENT.
