More Sorcerer musings. Cassette interface issue, or a

Well, I don't know Dwight. What I am convinced of now is that the problem lies with MESS and not my machine. I did some more experimenting with MESS this morning. The default sampling rate with MESS appears to be 48000. I changed this to 41000 but actually it didn't make any difference. The file size was exactly the same, with the same loading problems until I slowed it down by 8.5%. Maybe the sampling rate doesn't affect tape OUTPUT to WAV (I don't have a good understanding of the technical details) or maybe there is just a bug in MESS? MESS is .err..well, quite messy. I've had a real struggle to get it to hold any changes in the properties I make using the GUI even though I "apply" the changes. I resorted eventually to editing the .ini files directly, but then in MESS there are three ini files. In the root folder there is one and also two in the ini folder (Sorcerer.ini and a Mess.ini). The latter seem to have the same info in them. Anyway I altered them both. Anyway, I'm not worried. My Sorcerer's cassette interface is working properly, and I can get good loadable WAVs for it by slowing them down 8.5% in Audacity. If anyone on this list is familiar with MESS and in particular the Sorcerer module I'd be happy to further communicate with them to track down this isuue. It if is buggy I'd be happy to do some testing for a possible fix. I intend to document what I did in a Blog entry in case other new Sorcerer owners want to make similar WAV files from MESS.
