- We have an Amiga 2000 at work...I wasn't impressed to say the least.
-
- I need to stress that soniqTracker is planned to be a music player
- on its own merit and design and is not intended to be a simple
- "mod player" that mimics every idiosyncrosy of the Amiga. In fact,
- limiting a product in such a way doesn't take advantage of the
- full potential of the GS. soniqTracker is/will be a stand-alone music
- program which happens to a darn good (about 95%) job at -importing-
- mods. Until I've finished the editor, soniqTracker doesn't have much
- of a use except for listening to mods, and as soniqTracker evolves I can't
- ever promise exact duplication of mods. soniqTracker .6 already
- has several improvements on the mod and my current working vesion
- has several more extensions, resuling in higher quality output than
- Amiga mods, though no longer "exactly" the same. I feel the quality
- gained outweighs the small differences.
