Title: Any good MIDI sample-playing programs for the Amiga?
Post by: mingle on April 17, 2010, 10:21:03 AM

Hi all,

I'm looking for a simple (something like Kompakt or Kontakt on the PC) MIDI compatible music/audio sample playing program for the Amiga.

I'd like to be able to use my Synths to trigger Amiga samples (via MIDI) and mix the output with my other gear.

I seems to remember that OctaMED had some basic functionality, but I'd prefer a dedicated sample-player...

As ever, comments or suggestions greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Mike.

There must be a timidity port?

-edit-

Ah, right, you want midi triggered sample playback. What you want is MidiIn

Ah, that looks like it...

Seems that it can handle 16-bit samples and uses 14-bit trickery to play the audio...

Something that can play good old Amiga 8-bit samples in 4 note ploy would be even better! :-)

Cheers,

Mike.

That's easy. Use 8-bit samples and use Paula 8-bit DMA mode for AHI. Job done.

I should point out that I've used MidiIn and it's very good. You can set up multisamples across arbitrary key ranges, it recognises volume, pan and pitch bend and you can save the entire configuration for easy recall later.
