- OctaMED
- ~~~~~~~
-
- OctaMED is the "big brother" of MED, which contains a couple of new major
- features. As the name suggests, it can "split audio channels" in order to
- produce five to eight independent channels, without any external hardware.
- Those who have seen Oktalyzer or StarTrekker1.2 know what I'm talking
- about. What is quite unique when compared to these programs, is that
- OctaMED can multitask while playing in splitted channel modes.
-
- As users of the other 8-track programs know, the audio quality is a bit
- lower on splitted channels, depending on the instruments used. The CPU
- load and some technical reasons also cause some restrictions (some
- features, e.g. MIDI and synthsounds, are disabled when in splitted channel
- mode).
-
- Another feature in OctaMED (V2) is the printing display. You can print the
- notes in textual form (as normally displayed by MED). You can also print
- and edit using the standard notation! It's not like DMCS which allows you
- to place the notes in nearly any imaginable way, but more like Sonix.
-
- To help you to compose in splitted channel modes (5 - 8 channel modes),
- OctaMED can display eight tracks on screen at a time. This is helpful in
- MIDI work, too. For MIDI work, there's also (optionally) a 16-track
- display available, although it's quite difficult to read.
-
- In addition to the features listed above, OctaMED V2 contains all the
- features of MED V3.2. To use OctaMED you should have at least 1 megabyte
- or more of memory.
-
- Now I hear you asking "Where can I get it from??". First, OctaMED is NOT
- public domain or freely distributable. OctaMED is a copyrighted program.
- I will get my share of the profits for every copy sold, so by buying this
- program you'll also support me (but this doesn't mean that you can't send
- money directly to me, too :^)
-
- OctaMED is exclusively available from a British PD-distributor Amiganuts
- United (you can't get it from the author, for example). The price of
- version 2, including mailing costs, is £20.00 for all European countries,
- and £25.00 for non-European countries.
-
- The payment MUST be made in POUNDS STERLING, by International Money Order,
- Bankers Draught or Cheque (as long as it is in Pounds sterling).
-
- NOTE TO OWNERS OF OctaMED V1:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Registered buyers of OctaMED V1 can upgrade to version 2 for half price
- (£10.00/£15.00). The original OctaMED V1 disk must be returned along with
- your order.
