Re: Moving binary files to /RAM



On a tangent, but still related:

Just so you know why this matters, I'll explain what I'm up to: I'm
trying to put together another drum sequencing program using DAC522 a la
TIMELORD. I thought that by using /RAM to store the samples I could make
use of more/bigger samples thus extending the programs capabilities
however:

I have 16 samples named "A"..."P", each 3072 bytes copied to
/RAM/SAMPLES/

I'm using this code to play them in order:

160 FOR F = 65 TO 80
170 PRINT CHR$(4)"BLOAD /RAM/SAMPLES/" CHR$(F) ",A$2000"
180 CALL 35840 : REM DAC522
190 NEXT F

What happens, oddly enough, is that the first 12 samples play
back-to-back as one would hope, but then there is a noticeable delay
between the last four. I've tried this on a IIe, IIgs and IIc+ with the
same result... 

Any ideas...?
