Don, I hear not herd. (Musician not cowboy). Don't know how that one got by except maybe the very late hour it was written. (spell checkers only go so far!). 🙂 The A.M.A.S. sampler module deals with NORMAL Amiga audio as it digitizes audio (A/D) and plays the sounds back via Paula (D/A). I know that the Audio in and out on the serial buss have NOTHING to do with MIDI as MIDI has NOTHING to do with audio. I don't know what signals those pins expect to see so I wondered if it had any thing to do with the sampling process. Most other digitizers, Audio and Video on the market all seem to use the Parallel port only so the combined inability of the A.M.A.S. to sample without the serial port connected and your info about the Audio Out/In pins raised the question. I will probably solve this through experimentation but I'm still curious about what those pins do. Sorry to bother you with this as I had hoped Rick was available. I hope nothing has happened to him. If you know of anyone else that deals with this end of hardware and/or a better place in the forum to get help, please let me know as I don't want to be a pain in the butt. As always you have saved me a lot of time and research with your quick replies and info. Thanks, Roger

Roger, Essentially…those pins are audio level pins…the same as the audio out jacks…but not stereo. The out jack is the same as the audio going to your speaker. In fact…it's a tap on the left audio out line. The audio in line, simply runs to the audio amplifier (right audio amplifier to be exact) where it's run thru the amplification circuits and applied to the right audio out jack. Don
