WOW, I never heard about synth Aural Synthetica before...

And the source has been released for the 16-bit version of version 3 which was never completed... Hmmm. This might be something coders might want to take a look into in order to bring it up to date for Amiga, MorphOS, and maybe even AROS.

Aghh, BeOS softs too, woohooo!!! Well, I know what I'm doing tonight. ;)

Yes, it would make a nice plug in for Digibooster or something. Or even as a standalone app on next gen amiga type systems!

But what i'm realling wondering is which Octamed is best for my 030 1200? I want the built in synth and drums with sample ability, and hopefully external midi support. (e.g. controlling drum machines, keyboards, etc)

A lot of dudes use the older versions, and some of us use the latest version. You can group me with the latter.


As for Aural Synthetica. I load it up, and my screen scrambles, I can see half of it on the left, and half on the right.

I'm using one of AMiga Maniac's RGB adaptors which has S-Video out that I run through a S-video to VGA adaptor. I've never had a program do this before.

9 volt. I forget the Ma though.

I'm sure Atari Age sellsbthem.

Also, you might want to pro sound your Atari.

Can you look at my question about my setup earlier in the thread and tell me if its usable with octamed?

that atari synth is radical. I have an old 2600 here no psu though..

As long as it is Jay Miner era Atari, it's OK. :) Besides, I'm gonna sync it with my Amiga.

Never heard of EZ FM hmmm...

Pro Sound = Google can describe it better, but in a nut shell. Dedicated audio port, crisper audio.

Well i'd want the audio to sound dirty since its a dirty 8bit analogue box ;P

I read a review of EZ FM in CU Amiga magazine the other day. They gave it a 93% and it sounds amazing. I guess its "easy frequency modulation" ez-fm..


So where is this EZ FM?

Also pro sounding an Atari will retain that dirty sound. Without it, the purpose of using an Atari would  be lost. All it really does it reduce that annoying hum that comes out of your system. Plus as I said, provides it with a dedicated audio port so you don't have to run it through a VCR first just to add RCA support. :)

I found this:

http://aminet.net/search?query=ez+fm

But the author's e-mail is dead so you can't register and therefore can not save.  :(

Can OctaMED 4 use 16-bit samples in conjunction with 8 tracks? Or is it restricted to 4 tracks and 8-bit samples?

What ever FM Synth software I got on Aminet would not save. So no I had not found EZ FM yet, but will try your link.

So is the synth editor in 4 more fully featured than the one in OctaMED S.S.?

Magnetic: Well sir, as it turns out the copy you sent me a link to (which I assume is registered?) will not run on my machine. It loaded up a CLI screen, though I forget what that said except that it said to hit RETURN. After this, it seems like it attempts to close Work Bench, which of course failed since I run Magellan. I then manually closed Magellan, at which point the program acted like it was going to do something, but it only ended up just relaunching Magellan.

I'll try it under WinUAE later with a basic set up then see what happens.

As for the rest of this conversation. I have some input, but no time atm, Will be back. ;)

The Synthsound engine in OMSS is basically identical as far as I know. It certainly plays all the old sounds I have in my collection, except that you can use them in mix mode too, opening up a few additional possibilities, like greater polyphony.


Oh...

I was under the impression that the Synth Ed in OctaMED S.S. was partially broken. Have you any tutorials for this per chance?! :)

Well another reason for NOT using UAE and using a real amiga is the phat paula sound! Seriously even just "dry" output off of the amiga rca to a mixer has really good low end bass sounds and the synth sound seem analogue even though its digital.


I agree 100%. UAE looses A LOT in the translation! Might as well just use Open Mod Plug Tracker if you're going to be using a PC.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/modplug/

FREE + BETTER!!!

Also, no OctaMED S.S. will cause your MorphOS machine to lock up the moment you click on the icon. This is one of those few things that make me cry when using MorphOS. And I mean curl up on the floor in fetal position and cry!
