OCR: Limits too ... Now you know what all those zeros are for! The Amiga can only handle four samples at once, and it plays them as they cross underneath the cursor line. So if you were thinking of full orchestra arrangements. . tough. But there is a way to get eight going at once, (hence OCTamed) but that is out of the scope of this particular tutor. Anyway, for the simple piece that we are going to do, four is The last three zeros enough. To move the cursor around, use the arrow keys. after the instrument number are used for the various effects that you can inflict on your samples. The track arrangements are: the tracks on the outsides (1 and 4) come out of one channel and the two middle ones (2 and 3) come out of the other. I can't say left and right as I don't know which way that you have your computer wired up to your stereo. Personally, I prefer 1 and 4 from the right, but it's up to you and it does not really make any difference. Now, although the Amiga can only play four samples at any one time, up to 63 instruments can be loaded to be called up when needed. The only limitation that this has is memory, because larger samples (lumps of music sampled off (Ds for example) take up large amounts of memory, and it is feasable that if you have enough of these samples put in all at once, then you may find that things will begin to slow down and other weird happenings that go with low memory. So, keep and you shouldn't have any problems. it short and simple, Space bar .......
