FastMem 1st ?

[nickoteen]

So, here's the thing. I finally got my 8 MB ram exp. board from Kipper2k and it works great. But ! When I try to load a 710 KB module into Protracker, the darn thing fills up all the available chip ram and then it rolls over and plays dead saying: Not enough ram.
 
Is there a way to avoid this ?

Sample data must reside in Chip RAM in order to be played back. 98% of a module is sample data. So no, there is no way to avoid this, not with ProTracker.

You could use a tracker which plays samples through AHI (for example DigiBoosterPro). But this needs a fast CPU.

Also the last version of OctaMED could play samples from fast ram

Hi,

On reading your problem it sounds like something like stonetracker maybe your answer its avaiable on aminet for free.

Or you could upgrade your CHIP RAM.  (Unless you have an A1000)
On my A500, a few minor changes on my MB and I had 1M CHIP.
Then added a MiniMegaChip and I've got 2M CHIP...

A bit tougher than just software, but the Amiga loves it's CHIP RAM.  ;-)
