recording in the sts4000-SampleEditor

Hi all,

For all sample guru's.
I try to record stuff into the sts4000. However nothing is recorded....

This is what I did.
1) I read the manuel on the sts4000 from creamware's site
2) I connected the sequencer midi source to the midi in from the sts.
3) I connected the L+R stereo pair out to my pulsar mixer (e.g. channel 3)
4) I connected the direct out of channel 3 of the PM to the rec L and rec R
of the sts4000
5) I loaded a piano program into the sts
6) Now I wanted to record the entire piano phrase from the sequencer into
the sts
7) so I created a new program>with a new zone> with a new sample file and
named it "some_piano_phrase.wav"

when I hit play in my seqencer I hear my piano phrase and i can see the
recording meters move in the SampleEditor, so my signal must be coming in.
9) I tried hitting record, MIDI, and dB but nothing is happening. The Rec.
Time texbox stays on 0:00 ......

Anybody has any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I'm on windowsXP.
Any help is much appreciated!

Thx Wilbert

Interesting, I had never thought to record the STS into inself. In fact, that may be the problem, maybe it doesn't allow that?

Try instead sampling a Pulsar synth, just to see if that works...

It should record. You set it up right. Sometimes it's finicky. I've never tried to record long passages but you should definitely be able to record it.

Also maybe it DID record but you have your zoom or window view set to a very small area of silence, etc. Drag the horizontal and vertical scroll bars to move along recorded audio, check your zoom values...

I had similar problems with STS3000 on my Mac G4, so the follwing suggestions may be irrelevant but anything's worth a try:
First off are you on v3.01? If so make sure you download the latest version of STS generated on the My Page section of the Creamware site. This fixed a few of my problems. However I still can't record so what I do is to take a known good .wav file, copy it to somewhere else and rename it as whatever you're going to record, drag and drop the .wav from the Pulsar browser into your zone and then try and record. You can then save your new sample over this copy and you've done it! As I say this may not work for Windows XP, but everything else you are doing looks OK to me.

All the best

Hi all,

thx for all kind replies. So far I tried all your above mentioned ideas, without any luck. However I found out that some parts of 3.1 are not working-> hence I should do a complete pulsar re-install: that should help.

Since the new version is soon to be expected (...!)I'll wait with that until it arrives.

thx for all replies!

Wilbert
