OctaMed sound studio

Nah, I just think that if I was forced to use one or the other of them, I'd choose v4 as it's looks prettier and is simpler.

Nicholas, did you ever try to get this running under MorphOS? I understand it possible (and that it can run under AOS4), but I have found this necessary software patches.

Magnetic: Well sir, as it turns out the copy you sent me a link to (which I assume is registered?) will not run on my machine. It loaded up a CLI screen, though I forget what that said except that it said to hit RETURN. After this, it seems like it attempts to close Work Bench, which of course failed since I run Magellan. I then manually closed Magellan, at which point the program acted like it was going to do something, but it only ended up just relaunching Magellan.

I'll try it under WinUAE later with a basic set up then see what happens.

As for the rest of this conversation. I have some input, but no time atm, Will be back.

So is the synth editor in 4 more fully featured than the one in OctaMED S.S.?

The Synthsound engine in OMSS is basically identical as far as I know. It certainly plays all the old sounds I have in my collection, except that you can use them in mix mode too, opening up a few additional possibilities, like greater polyphony.

If you did octamed tutorials you would be an amiga hero! and DONT use UAE  uae is for suckas

My, My... another insightful post from the brainless wonder...

Actually, OctaMED SS is a bit of an Achilles heel for UAE. No amount of fiddling around with UAE's settings can get rid of the lag between pressing a key and hearing the sound; something no genuine amiga suffers from.

Of course, when it comes to basic playback of a completed track, it (understandably) performs very well, particularly on many-channel modules.

Even with the Maestrix redirecting the audio through AHI?

Might be worth speaking to Toni Wilen about it to see if it's fixable or not.

It's on my (very long) todo list.

That's true of anything that's supposed be, or be like an Amiga for me. If your invention can't play four 8bit samples simultaneously with out skipping or sounding bad, you FAILED!

Not tried proper WinUAE with host-native AHI drivers for some time, so I can't say for sure, but it always seemed like the issue was more to do with the host audio latency than anything. I guess that from the host perspective, UAE is just another application that presents itself as a stream source to be buffered and mixed into the final output. That will always add delay.

We have spoken about this before, as I used WinUAE in the recording studio before, I did get the latency down below 10ms, and certainly low enough to be imperceptible to my feeble human ears

Though I tried to use real hardware as much as possible for that "authentic" 8bit audio... Very few will ever appreciate the effort I went to

Yeah, makes a great sequencer

You're going to have to remind me how you achieved that. I think I am going senile. Also, I forget stuff.

I do recall you sending me a sounndbite and my having to identify what I thought was from Paula

:lol:
Careful tuning and my Edirol FA101 (the most amazing bit of Audio kit I ever bought).

Indeed, one of the precious few who could apprecaite my efforts!

Oh...

I was under the impression that the Synth Ed in OctaMED S.S. was partially broken. Have you any tutorials for this per chance?!

[magnetic]

Well another reason for NOT using UAE and using a real amiga is the phat paula sound! Seriously even just "dry" output off of the amiga rca to a mixer has really good low end bass sounds and the synth sound seem analogue even though its digital.

I agree 100%. UAE looses A LOT in the translation! Might as well just use Open Mod Plug Tracker if you're going to be using a PC.
