Cubase/FruityLoops/Acid are the only reason I keep a Windows PC up and running.  I'd get a Mac, but no FruityLoops.

If someone was to code a FruityLoops style app for AOS/MOS it would be a "Killer" app IMHO.  Fruityloops itself is written in Delphi AFAIK so no chance of a port.

That program in itself is reason enough to keep an old Amiga around, too bad the PC version sux ass.

Just in response to some of the above posts...
I wanted to use OctaMED because that's what I used when I was younger to play around with.
I've used Cubase (I started an audio course at Salford Uni and we had to use it as part of the course) and whilst it may be more 'powerful' I just LIKE OctaMED, pure and simple.
Once again, the X is better than Y argument is coming out. But what if I happen to prefer Y?

Thanks for all the replies


Of course the high end Squencers such as Cubase and so on are going to be more powerful.. but with OctaMED its the tracker music *spreadsheet-like* interface that makes it possible to start up and punch in a quick n dirty music track in no time! That's the power of it!

Would Octamed SS feel the benefit of WinUAE-JIT + the UAE-AHI Drivers?  Or does it not use AHI?

Reason I ask, is I have to see for myself what the fuss is about.  I really can't believe it's as good as people say.
There is a Windows version available (see http://www.octamed.co.uk/ ), though unfortunately it's timelimited. Also it's possibly not exactly equal to the Amiga version (one problem I found with too many channels was that I'd get crackling sounds in the playback - this on an AthlonXP 1700 with sound card when my '030 Amiga with no sound card gave better results! I don't know if I've set something up wrongly, or what..)

Update your VIA 4-in-1's, and if you have an sblive, use the kxproject WDM/ASIO drivers.  Also install the VIA Latency Patch and the Memory Interleave enabler from George Breese.  Problem solved! :-D
