Hi Robbert,
Samplemapper works when you have a "client player" that is constructed to use it. In the [ex-sampler] abstraction included, open up the [pd main_selector] subpatch. Inside there you will see the mechanism which outputs two things: a "$1-zample" message which you can use to tell [tabread4~] which of the tables to read, and the length of the sound in samples, which you can use to control playback.
On my OSX system, which is the standard "PD-0.39.2-extended-test4" installer from HC, everything creates and plays fine. Do you get sound normally? Are you selecting a sample for [ex-sampler] to play? Is the gain turned up? Did you click the toggle above the player to start playback? It's really quite simple, almost bulletproof, so I can't imagine how it couldn't work unless you are still having trouble creating objects...
best, d.

not that i have any sound now, though. does anyone know whether derek holzer's ex-sampler (suggested setup in the helpfile) works like it is or whether i have to change things in it? i've set it up now as suggested in the help file, but nothing's happening.
