So today I finally found the time to try to hook up my sampler to my computer and see what it does. The problem is: it does nothing. I connected my pc's midi out to sampler midi in, booted both.
Then I first tried with FL but not much succes. Then i thought i might be easier to try with cubase. So I opened new project, added a midi channel set output to soundcard midi output. Then I drew some notes that should correspond to sample pad's. Both midi channels are set to 1. Result: nothing. Does anyone have experience with this or know how to do it? Any help for cubase or FL is apreciated.

What you did seems quite good exept for... shouldn't you connect some kind of output of the sampler to some kind of input somewhere? I guess the sampler is nicely playing everything, but if there's no output connected...

yeah.......that's what i was gonna say........you would need some kind of output from the sampler in order to hear anything........but maybe you've already figured that out......and the problem lies deeper

Forgot to mention, ofcourse i connected sampler line-out to pc line-in (I may be dumb, but not that dumb
), it plays nice when I just hit the buttons, but the midi control doesn't seem to work.

Gonna dig this one up again. Today I tried some more using FL5. I don't know what it is I did different from before, but it works. Still have to figure out how to control the effects and stuff, but playing samples allready works. If anyone would be interested I can post up some screenshots of the settings & so on.

what software you using?
Normally you should be able to tick/switch on a 'midi learn'-knob and you can assign FX/events to your midi-controller

Might be some help for some people.
(if you use a MIDI port and not USB)
You can see if your MIDI port is working by putting a led in pin 4 and 5 (which is actually pin 2 and 4 if you count them but that's how the protocol is). a MIDI signal is a current that only has 1 direction so you might want to turn the led. If the led is blinking your pc is sending MIDI.
btw: don't worry about blowing the led, the current is 5mA and is supposed to drive an optocoupler.
