Wnating to learn Octamed help

[hooligan]

A hint from a guy who has used Octamed since 1991. Dont go for Soundstudio for now, use OMed V4 as it simply is the best there is. V4 has some bugs with samples and MIDI on the same channel but with small extraeffort you can hide them.

If your learning from scratch you might as well learn the best version unless your only going to run it an a A500?

Well thats what I said, use the best version, which is version 4 :-)

First of all composing tunes with V4 is several times quicker than on OSS as the UI is much simpler, logical and simply working. Secondly, because of the things mentioned it is also easier for beginner to learn. This of course the case only if the user wants to create 4ch/8ch-tunes with Paula. If the user is going to use MIDI then I'd advice to start on OSS aswell.

I remember I tried OSS several times when it came out, always returning to V4 as the "new look" was soooo confusing. It still is, I did a remake of Lost Patrol yesterday and was cursing the userinterface half the time ;-)

ps.Its been two years since I last touched my synth and OSS.. so please forgive me its crappiness

nice remix, octamed?

SoundStudio.

where are the samples from?

Yamaha CS1x

but have to agree that remakes of this enormous classic is almost blasphemy

Agree fully :-)

Its just that I happened to bump to a site called AmigaRemix and downloaded all 2.5gb of remixes from there. Sort of lifted up my interest to get back to tracking again after a long time of silence.
