Octamed Sound Studio finally updated.

[Wilse]

At last. At very long last,  Octamed, has been updated. Please extend your thanks to Gerd Frank for producing something so quickly.

This is a fairly minor upgrade but shows how committed Gerd is.

You can download it from here.

Well absolutely! Thank you Gerd Frank! :-) :-) :-)

[Wilse]

Also, please note that this is the executable           file only and you will need to have installed the full version prior to overwriting the exe itself with the update.

The full version, if you don't already have it, is also available for download at the octamed website.

Thanks to Lisa at RBF for pointing this out.

I've been using Med series since version 1 and it's truly an awesome software. Not only it is the best tracker there is, it also has pretty decent MIDI support. AHI support and a fix for a few bugs are the only things I could ask for.

@Hooligan,

This release apparently fixes a few bugs. AHI support will hopefully follow. It's a must.

I'm just delighted that something seems to moving forward, with regard to my favourite computer programme. :pint:

@John:

Not a great deal - if you download it, it contains a little text file detailing the changes.

Thanks, Gerd!!!  Without OctaMED I may never have become an Amiga user at all...and MED still remains to be my main reason for still using my Amiga as my primary machine.

What's been added/fixed/changed with this new version?

From the History file included in the archive:

"* History *

v7.09:

- code cleanup, still only SAS/C (next release possible GCC 3.x and C-only !)
- reworked build process, ...
- Compiled for 68020+, source is still mixed C and Asm
- Copyright notice changed a little bit
- some very small bugs fixed
- only executable file, no other (possible needed) stuff included!"

:-D :-D :-D

Thanks Gerd!

-edit-

Wish list, in no particular order

1) AHI support :-)
2) More assignable MIDI controllers
3) Increased depth for normal commands, eg 7-bit sample volume (would bring in line with midi too)
4) Soft synth - not necessarily realtime for 68K but can render to a sample :-)
5) PPC native version - know that will be tricky :-)

Wow! Its great to see an old Amiga program getting updated. I made my first tunes using this program but have moved onto other things as of late. I'm glad this is getting updated. Three cheers for Gerd!!

Gerd is an OS 4 betatester so I hope we will see an OS 4 version in the not too distant future.

Keep up the good work Gerd!

@Zadoc:

Without OctaMED I may never have become an Amiga user at all..

In my case there's no maybe about it - I would *never* have been interested in the Amiga, had I not been given a demo of Octamed.

That's why this news makes me so happy.  :-)

[Calen]

This is news i like to see, wow!  :-o
Didnt think i'd hear about any releases so soon on the best tracker program bar none

I Look forward to future releases and possible OS4 support.

Cheers.

Well, to untie it from the old legacy Amigas will be essential if they are serious about this as an effort for the future!

/me is hoping for future support for all three "NG" OS distributions! I wonder if Gerd has a Pegasos? I really think he should have one! ;-)

[Crumb]

Well done Gerd! :-)
