New Octamed V2 ( PC version ) to support VST's

[spihunter]

Hey Folks,

Maybe an interest to Amiga audio people. I was on the Med Sound studio site the other day and they had a bulletin up stating that V2 of Med Sound Studio for Windows would be out in a month and that it had support for VST plugins?

If true, I wonder how that would work in a tracker? either way it would be a cool modern thing to have available in a tracker?

They have since pulled the news off the site but I got a mail on the yahoo groups that said the announcement was put up a little early but would be back up some time in October.

Still no word on the Amiga V2 of Octamed but seeing that its taken them 5+ years just to come out with the new Windows version I'm not holding my breath :lol:

McSquirrel,

Hey Thanks for the link! I've never heard of Modplug. I downloaded it a played around for a bit. It has a nice layout.
I'm going to try out some plugin on it and see how it works.

@Saddam,

Reason isnt a tracker at all. I've played with a few times but the GUI sent me elsewhere. I cant stand programs that try to look like physical gear. Just my personal taste.

@hooligan,

I use Renoise daily basis and the VST's in it work fabulous. Sad to say Renoise wipes the floors with SoundStudio, its way way WAY more advanced not to mention its free of charge.

Thanks for the link!. Renoise looks really nice. Why am I always the last to hear about all these programs :lol:  

I've been looking for a decent tracker for the Mac for ages. I wonder if the Mac version supports VST or AU's? I'll have to investigate.

It also doesnt look like Renoise is free. It says that ASIO and save to .WAV are removed in the demo version.

It looks like Octamed has really fallen behind in a big way. Its no wonder that their user base on the PC seems to have fallen so much. The PC mail list is almost a quiet as the Amiga versions.

@Jpan,

Madtracker looks great to!. It supports Rewire, I dont think I've seen that on any other tracker?.

 I've got a lot stuff to play with when I get home.
