Octamed suggestions wanted

[spihunter]

@ElZorro,

Octamed Soundstudio (V7?) has been a free download for many years now. I would suggest using that instead of V5. Like others here said, it allows you to move your samples to fast ram which was a big thing in my world! Its a check box in the far left pull down menu.

On the midi question, I've only used it for simple Sync stuff so I dont know.

@wlfrancis,

Go to Soundstudio

and click the Amiga version. You have to join the mailing list to download the latest version.

Octamed is going to kill your eyes on a TV!. You can use a regular PC monitor if you have a RGB-VGA adaptor ( I think Amigakit.com has them) . I think you can still get these pretty cheap. you have to put the DBLPAL or DBLNTSC and VGAonly monitor drivers in your devs drawer to get these screenmodes. At this point you should also have your composite out still hooked to the TV just in case a program opens its own screenmode.

Octamed will open on the same screenmode as workbench.

As far as the sampler, unless you have a program like Soundprobe your going to be stuck with the original software that came with the sampler. I could be wrong about this though? Anyone? :-D

Sample Wrench ( http://www.dissidents.com/demos.htm#DDAmiga ) might support sampling through the Perfect Sound ... Plus, if the Perfect Sound is a "standard" parallel port sampler (meaning it is very, very basic -- some are, some are not) then it will work with any Amiga software that supports basic parallel samplers.

@trilobyte,

Thanks for the link!. I've never even heard of SampleWrench before. I'm going to give it a try. I have a Megalosound parallel sampler here. Its always worked great with Soundprobe, but I might give it a try with this.
