>>So why would you hook it (sampler) up in a chain with the SCSI controller in your computer?<< Actually Allen, this is a common thing to do these days. There is software available like Recycle, Peak, etc. to edit sounds inside the computer and instantly zap them using SMDI to the sampler via SCSI. You can also zap sounds FROM the sampler into the computer. It's very easy to do. This is what my SCSI chain is: Mac---Syquest Syjet---CD-Rom---E-Mu Sampler The sampler has its own SCSI number, a menu option that ignores the computer at the other end of the chain (since the sampler is a controller like the computer), and is internally terminated. Computers make good editing machines because of the monitor size. You can see the waveforms a lot better. There are problems people sometimes report if using incorrect SCSI setups, however. Extension conflicts, system freezes, etc. But nothing that can cause hardware damage-- or Click of Death. As with any SCSI chain, when it isn't right, it's Hell. When it works, it works beautifully.
