Well, the last / latest version of OctaMED for the Amiga still has more features and potential than I have used to full advantage, so it really is everything I need (well, full AHI integration would be good, but at least it CAN use 16-bit samples and mixdown to a 16-bit quality file).
Still, it's sad about Alfred Faust having to retire from development. I should point out that he has also had to stop developing Bars & Pipes (best MIDI sequencing software EVER written - no joke). He's done so much for that particular piece of software to improve it, it's really hard to thank him enough.
His last version of Bars & Pipes New (1.29) seems very stable and bug free (knock on wood). It also runs very well under UAE....so despite its (only slightly) dated graphics it will remain a major part of my music software for....well, for the rest of my life, anyway. I'll always keep a real Amiga or a UAE installation around just for it.
The Bars & Pipes source code IS open source however, so someone CAN step in here and continue developing it (especially to finish Alfred's largely complete OS4 port). Anyone?
