- Well that's great for Audition 4. I hear Audiomaster 4 (3?) also supports
- PS 3 and up. But I am still correct in saying that MED does not.

- I was talking internal differences: The way the sampler talks to the computer
- has changed as of PerfectSound 3. This produces incompatibilities in some
- programs, while others (like Audition 4) support both the new and old PS.

- My brother and his 512k CHIP mem find this very inconvienient. He likes to
- sample "on the fly" as he is writing a song in MED, and he does not have the
- memory to run the sampler program in the background. Fortunately he has an
- old PerfectSound (2 I think) that works with MED and OctaMED.
-
- For me and my 2 megs CHIP, this would not be as much of a problem ;-)
