thanks for you answere.. so the problem seems to be the ram/memory  
and the os of sidstation. so we need a new os and better 
hardware..hehe.. . just wondering if there some freaks outthere 
who "circuitbend" the sidstation. [?]

anyway i am trying to make my own samples on c64. i never did this 
before - so it´s very hard to go ahead. are there any peeps who do 
this? somebody told me to use voicetracker for this. but i realy 
don´t know how to do it. can somebody help?

/\phono/\
