Sucess! The suggestion to let Csound read the header of the sample file worked. A big thank you to Victor Lazzarini and John ff.

By the way, my latest collection of work I've done with csound is available for free listening and download here: http://ripnread.com/?p=1492 . There is a playlist there that should open in most browsers.

It was all made with csound and my preprocessor for working with complex sample libraries. All the pieces are realizations of compositions by the greats in piano music: Bach, Cage, Ravel, Gibbons, Mozart, and Chopin. I took some small liberty with some of the pieces, and major liberty with others. Most make heavy use of the Drunkard's Walk Markov Chain to make choices about a lot of the musical material. My favorite is a transformation of Ravel's Pièce en forme de Habanera, which I call Tango.

I invested in a commercial Bosendorfer sound library last year, and this one uses it exclusively. The first sample instrument I ever used was a Bosendorfer sample set that someone in the world of csound uploaded. They deleted it later for some reason. This sample library is very nice, with 6-7 different volume levels for 8 notes per octave, and a wide range.

The tuning is based on the Partch tonality diamond to the 31-limit, with 214 unique pitches per octave. I only use 12 per measure, so it just sounds a little strange. There are lots of slides and trills. I like to refer to the instrument as Prent's Microtonal Slide Bosendorfer, because is slide and trill as if it were a guitar.

Just listened to four dances; went down well in this house.  We both loved it.  Hope to get time for the others later

Thank you for brightening my day.
