Music on me 1200

[bazza1975]

Hi Folks,

I want to get into making some tunes on my amiga1200. Is it as good as the 500 for this purpose? I seen a midi interface for sale, it was for the 500, would this work on the 1200? I also seen a techno sound sampler, and a sequencer one, would they work on it? Next step is to get a midi keyboard... right? Anybody have some ideas for me?
If the 500 would be beter for making music i still have a 500 kicking around, although its a UK model, would this work in Holland?

cheers Baz

Thanks for the very useful replies...


So is OctaMED a music studio sort of program?
I watched some notator films on youtube, this was for the atari st. Is it similar stuff for the amiga?
Bars & Pipes easy to use?
Will any amiga midi interface work, and what kind of music formats will be recognised, for example .wav files?
Is it a much more difficult doing this instead of using a normal modern pc?
sorry if im asking to many questions

If it cant load samples into the fast ram,, is that a problem?

Hi folks,

Waiting for octamed to arrive.. i have purchased a pcmcia cf-card kit, the card is 1GB. The HD in my amiga is only 80mb,  very small,, i take it i wont be able to install on the HD? Can i install it on the cd-card?? Or will i need to install a bigger HD....

cheers Baz

Hi,

My octamed arrived today, so i can finally get started BUT,, seeing i have no cdrom in the amiga i was going to use my pcmcia-cf card to transfer the data on the cd from the pc to the amiga.... but how do i transfer everything, all 650mb! seeing i can't copy and paste.. would have been too easy :roll:

Anybody an idea?

I was hoping to make dance tunes on it, also some ambient stuff. I thought lots of all early dance stuff was madw with the help of amiga's... guess i was wrong :-(

[bazza1975]

Pity, i thought the good old amiga was the way to go to make early dance stuff sort of like PSB type music
There was me boasting about the potential it had.. So iwould be much beter using my laptop then.. :-(
Anyone had some experience with fl studio?

[bazza1975]

Very nice tunes :-)

What does the SS stand for in the octamed?

You run it through a pc emulator, UAE???

Whats an Akai S5000 exactly??

cheers Baz
