- I'm afraid not. Tracker loads and converts Oktalyzer files (very badly).
- This was one of the first 8-channel soundtrackers to appear on the Amiga,
- and it's files are not directly compatible with OctaMED.
-
- On a different subject, I'd just like to congratulate BASS on Digital
- Symphony. It is superb!
- Having used 'Digital Symphony' and the new 'Desktop Tracker', I must say
- that Digital Symphony wins hands down at the moment. The play routine is
- much better, with tracks actually sounding like they did on my Amiga.
- The editing facilities are easy to use, and the sample editor is great.
- If OctaMED loading and saving were added, I'd probably abandon my Amiga
- and OctaMED once and for all!

- Andy.
