Thanks Zoe, as always your explainations are succint but I am not very bright so I am afraid I do need more detail.

The akai sample rate is 24 Khz bandwidth 12 KHz.

I have read the sample rate should be at least twice the fequency of the wave form that is to be sampled.

Well, the sample rate was 24Khz for a 1Khz wave form.

Still sounded like a buzz.

I am missing something.

I have actually sampled at 128Khz f or a 3 khz waveform to no avail on my Mac.

I am doing something wrong I am sure,

I would like the Doepfer wavetable module but would like to understand my short commings 1st.
