- The Perfect Sound hardware needs a lot of bit twiddling to read it (the
- AGMSRecordSound docs describe it a bit). The sampler doesn't tell you
- pitch or volume. All it can tell you is the instantaneous volume level
- of the waveform at the moment you read it. There are some BASIC
- programs out there that use a standard sound sampler as an input device.
- Unfortunately, that won't help too much because of the different way
- Perfect Sound 3 is accessed. There is also the Perfect Sound software
- library which you may be able to use from AMOS to read the sampler.
