- I don't blame you. I've got to use those things at school -- a 68040 based
- Mac runs EXACTLY as fast as a 1 MB A500.

- Ok, I see your point about the Amiga's poor sound. I can also see that you
- wouldn't want to let Octamed die with the Amiga (assuming it does) -- I've
- been a user up until 1 month ago.
-
- In that case, could you try to support some of the more high-end cards in your
- PC version (ie Roland RAP-10, Turtle Beach etc)? The major problem with most
- PC sequencers (aside from general lack of quality) is that they only support
- The Gravis and the SoundBlaster -- perfectly fine if you want your music to
- sound no better than Doom. Another thing to consider would be the ability to
- play an Octamed song into a file. The ability to do this is one of the
- reasons I switched from Octamed (thus being able to by-pass the Amiga's audio
- entirely and play back my songs through a proper Amiga/PC sound card via hard
- disk).
