- Since MIDI is just samples playing on some soundchip somewhere, wouldn't it
- be possible to play MIDI directly on the Amiga soundchip? Delitracker would
- be the perfect platform for such a thing: the internal noteplayers support
- up to 32 channels of independent sound, more than enough for most MIDI
- applications, and samples for these channels can be stored in fastram so
- memory should not be an objection.
-
- Some of us don't want to control instruments - we just want to listen to all
- those cool songs without having to buy an expensive MIDI device!
-
- So, Adam, how about it? You are already busy with a similar project - how
- about adding a Delitracker interface?
