Aura

-Connects to the PCMCIA port
-Input which takes the R+L audio from the Amigas sound output cinches
-Inout audio cinch, for things such as CD-Player, Cassette, etc. Depending on the input you may need to make sure it is amplified, for exampled a Hi-Fi turn table.
-Potmeter near the cinches for input and output to lower and uprate the signal
-12bit recording and replay
-In the case of 8bit the software uses IFF, where 12bit is used the sample is converted to 16bit internally and saved as AIFF.
-Single and Stereo sampling
-With additional software and hardware this device can be triggered as a MIDI 1 channel sampler
-Octamed Soundstudio can be used for replay

The software provides in extensible effects regarding realtime processing of
incoming sound when directed to an external device for recording or mixing
purposes. Every effect has its sliders for extensive control. Even effects
apear te have been combined to create new ones out of the standard few that
are normally associated with sampling software on the Amiga.

As far as harddisk-recording is considered, when equiped with a fast cpu
(68030) and some fastram (8Mb and more) accompanied with a modern (E)IDE or
SCSI harddrive rates are managable beyond 48Khz in stereo. Replay acts the
same way. Effects can be applied on samples on disk albeit time-consuming
and destructive. Due to the fact samples are processed in 16-bit the
signal-to-noise ratio is splendid. Mind the device inputs or outputs in
12-bit resolution only.
Minimum Requirements:
A600 or A1200 1MB RAM
HD for HD recording

Recommended Requirements
A1200 030 at about 25Mhz
32MB RAM
Dedicated Hard Drive parition with a transfer rate of about 2.4Mb/sec
