YES, thank you so much, that is it.  I still couldn't get the aiff's to
work, but the wavs work fine.  MIDI indeed, I feel very foolish, it should
have bee obvious.  but apparently the length of the file can be controlled
by the final F0 statement in the sco . . , (I still get a lot of strange
error messages during compile, but a nice little file of Beethovens Ode to
Joy compile well, after I got the lenght down  by stating in that line F0
60.  presumably, you must know exactly the length of the midi file.  I will
play with the various parameters to see what I can get.  I assume you can
use any kind of sampled sound for such midi input? any hints would be nice,
send me whatever you have,  thanks again,
Jim

Hi,
according to orc/sco from your previous message
you tried to render a MIDI file using Bossendorfer's samples.
If you are using winsound don't forget to specify MIDI file
in "Extra...". You must do it every time you run winsound,
even if you specified the MIDI file already (in this case
it's enough to click on "Extra" and to click on "OK".

I'm using this stuff with great pleasure!
(I did not compare my example with your one in
details but seems it's the same. I can send it you
if you want.)
Also you can point devaudio as Output File
(don't do it in v.3.54) and enjoy the real time
playing.
Gabriel's DirectCsound 2.7 is very useful for playing
Bossendorfer's samples on midi keabord.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Sergey Batov   batov@glasnet.ru
