Hi All,
Firstly, thank you to Amiga Kit for making the A600GS / OctaMED 8 combo real !
I have never used an Amiga computer before, but want to run OctaMED to send midi-out data to sequence an external sound module.
My question is: will there be any difference in latency when doing this on a A600GS / OctaMED 8 system (using a usb-to-midi converter)
compared to the 'older' Amiga systems (like 1200)?
I understand the 'older' Amiga systems (like 1200) had very little midi-latency when sending midi information to external devices via the serial port, and am wondering if the same will 'hold true' of an A600GS running OctaMED 8 to control an external sound module via usb-to-5 pin midi.
Thank you in advance for your advice:)

The A1200NG has a serial port. That would be a good test; USB to MIDI Adapter vs the older serial MIDI interfaces in the A1200NG!

Thanks for pointing out that the A1200NG has a serial port! I had overlooked this in my research!
Perhaps it reveals a lack of knowledge on my part, but I am unsure whether any [potential] midi latency is related with hardware considerations. i.e:
- A600GS with USB midi
or
- A1200NG with 'serial port'
....would be interesting to know more in such a comparison! thanks for the reply

Maybe you can test it, once you get yours?
