Alas, I come to complain about MorphOS

[kolla]

I don't understand, there are no USB recorders that work with MorphOS, is that what you're complaining about?

[kolla]

NOTHING has been done to improve Trident so we can start using USB sound cards.

Ah, so there's your complaint

Trying to use MorphOS for music production is a waste of time, you should have kept the Intel mini, and just used UAE for the occational use of Amiga software.

[kolla]

Do recordings on your phone or whatever and transfer the files to your mac for editing.

[kolla]

Geez man!!!!

I left off at 2.7, now I am using 3.1 for the first time...

It's seductive. Sure, MorphOS failed us musicians, but MAN, did they really excell in all other areas!

This is NICE!!!! VERY Professional!!!!

Really? I upgraded from 2.7 to 3.1 and have not noticed anything new and revolutionary.

So far all my best music apps remain on my classic Amiga.

OctaMED SS and HD-Rec.

Heck yeah, and they also work nicely with Minimig, looking forward to trying them out on FPGA Arcade

Anyhow though the MorphOS team did not make Apple's hardware, I do feel that they should put MorphOS' audio, midi, wireless, and USB to the top of their priority list.

Totally agree, the focus has been on video playback and framerates in Quake for way too long.

All in all, the Amiga was always known as a media system, so why aren't next gen Amiga OS' putting media and creativity in the fore front?!?!?

Because they can finally watch youtube with OWB - that has kept them busy for years.

[kolla]

Isochronous USB transfers are not planned at all so that rules out most USB soundcards

Should we make a list of modern OS features that are not planned for MorphOS? It would be a very long list

[kolla]

You are probably very welcome to join their small team to write these missing features

I very much doubt that, haha :lol:

[kolla]

Really, HD-Rec runs on a MiniMig? How fast and how much RAM do you have to spare?

I was a bit quick there, I dont know about HD-Rec, and I don't know where I would hook in the sampler on the Minimig, I use other devices for sampling.

[kolla]

Yes, using the RS232 on the Minimig, I tried it briefly - the MIDI interface I used (TRD?) originally pulled 12V (I think, sounds weird...) power from the 25 pin Amiga serial port, and since the serial port on the Minimig is only the usual 9 pin one, I used a PC PSU to feed both the Minimig (5V) and the MIDI interface. There are others that have found more convenient ways though, one guy even made a MIDI-board that would fit inside the typical Minimig case.

[kolla]

kolla have enought free time to loss it here talking about how crap is all... but without any help or solution.

I have a day job, a life, and other interests, yeah. And I wont "help" a closed source Amiga OS. My solution is to open source MorphOS and let AROS and MorphOS join efforts to a much larger degree.

[kolla]

Any ideas how to fix this problem?

Buy a new monitor?
