Wnating to learn Octamed help

[bloodline]

Just play with it! It is much easier to use than a sequencer like the nasty Cubase or the wonderful Logic Pro.

Get your hands dirty and if you get stuck then you can ask for specific help here :-)

The best way is to read the Amigaguide manual downloadable when you join the OctaMED Yahoo Group.  Then load up OctaMED and a MOD, and let it play.  Try to figure out what's going on by watching and editing the code inside the MOD (the AmigaGuide manual will give you a clue as to what the codes do).

You need to understand the basics of music construction in beats/bars/measures though first....otherwise it might not make much sense and you.

Yes, load up some premade MODs and deconstruct them! Rip out the sequences and patterns... then use their samples.

Remember you have 4 tracks, each of which can play one sound at a time. Each track is 64 lines line long... each line can be thought as a 16th note... thus one pattern of 64 lines is 4 bars.

So try putting a sample at 1, 16, 32 and 48... and that will play a sample at the start of each bar, which you can use as a marker... then play to your hearts content :-)

I think to problem is..How do i insert a sample..:S

I joined the yahoo forum and also posted a thread..i dont see any guides on there tho

Load a sample into the sample area.

you will notice mid way through the display is the "play bar" wher wever that is is where you can place a same. Now enter edit mode (click the litte edit toggle)... and then the keyboard becomes a musical keyboard. With Q being middle C (at least it is how I have it set up). then you can play the notes in... using the cursor down key to advance to the next line (i.e. 16th note),
