Can you trigger OctaMED (or even MED) via MIDI?

Yes. Not used it in a while, but it was useful back when I'd use two machines each in 4 channel mode, to make sure they started simultaneously and kept in sync.

However, if you just want multitimbral sample playback over MIDI on your amiga, then MIDIIn is the tool for you.

Also, you might want to pro sound your Atari.

As long as it is Jay Miner era Atari, it's OK. :) Besides, I'm gonna sync it with my Amiga.

Never heard of EZ FM hmmm...

Pro Sound = Google can describe it better, but in a nut shell. Dedicated audio port, crisper audio.

Well i'd want the audio to sound dirty since its a dirty 8bit analogue box ;P

I read a review of EZ FM in CU Amiga magazine the other day. They gave it a 93% and it sounds amazing. I guess its "easy frequency modulation" ez-fm..

OctaMED - Yes, made for it, has a slave mode even. MED I think not, does not have any midi I recall.

So where is this EZ FM?

Also pro sounding an Atari will retain that dirty sound. Without it, the purpose of using an Atari would  be lost. All it really does it reduce that annoying hum that comes out of your system. Plus as I said, provides it with a dedicated audio port so you don't have to run it through a VCR first just to add RCA support. :)

It's like a brand new "Red -vs- Blue war only this time it's the Octamed V4 extremist -vs- the Octamed SS revolutionary's!!!!



Quote from: Karlos;623308
I guess we'll have to differ on that one. I've nothing against older versions of OctaMED, but for me V6 and subsequently SS represented a shift from the "regular" tracker to a proper application. When I went RTG, seeing my first 32-channel mixmode track (and more importantly being able to edit it) in a 1600x1200 display was a revelation.

I've always hated the tracker paradigm, but recently enjoyed playing with Renoise so thought I'd check out Octamed and Sound Studio again.

V4 seems the lesser of two evils as it doesn't try to be something it's not: Cubase/Notator.

Can OctaMED 4 use 16-bit samples in conjunction with 8 tracks? Or is it restricted to 4 tracks and 8-bit samples?

From Airplane:

Male announcer: The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.
Female announcer: The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.
Male announcer: [later] The red zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the white zone.
Female announcer: No, the white zone is for loading of passengers and there is no stopping in a RED zone.
Male announcer: The red zone has always been for loading and unloading of passengers. There's never stopping in a white zone.
Female announcer: Don't you tell me which zone is for loading, and which zone is for stopping!
Male announcer: Listen Betty, don't start up with your white zone shit again.

Which for me depicts almost 99.9 % of "conversations" that take place on the interwebs

--------------------------------------------------------------

OSS works pretty good with 16bit samples, provided you have a Tocatta. I've been playing a few guitar chords into it...

But there is some limit I read and now I'm not sure, like only 1 16bit sample can playback at a time, but you can have as many as want? We really nee to get a f-ing manual up on the interwebs some where...

I couldnt find E-Z FM either. I even have a phone number for the company (usa) which is of course no good. Maybe somebody can hack the demo with a hex editor to remove the protection??
