Ha ha J Haha yes he'd get quite absorbed in those tracks - it was more a drum and bass vibe from him from what I remember, using NoiseTracker, and maybe OctaMED! 5 hours ago, thealteredemu said: @johnparker007 I also remember our mate Adam.

J Oh yeah, he was doing things in I think Lightwave, which was kinda the 3DS Max (and now I guess Blender / Maya) of the Amiga days - impressive stuff for the time! 1 [ Arcade Simulator ] Pre-alpha installer: https://tinyurl.com/2kcrkprh | Donation info: https://tinyurl.com/yzvgl4xo [ Community Drive ] The drive: http://tinyurl.com/yckze665 [ Fruit Machine Database ] Initial google sheets (WIP): https://tinyurl.com/2c5znxzz [ Fruit Machine ROM Archive ] The archive: https://tinyurl.com/3jhzbueb [ Fruit Machine Settings/Tests Guide ] https://tinyurl.com/yuebw8b5 [ MAME (fixes/improvements) ] Commits: https://github.com/johnparker007/mame/commits/master/?author=johnparker007 [ MFME Launch ] Source code: https://github.com/johnparker007/MFMELaunch [ Oasis ] Source code: https://github.com/johnparker007/Oasis [ Sound ROM Editor ] Source code: https://github.com/johnparker007/SoundRomEditor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'd moved onto OctaMED by then, but he was more comfortable with the Noisetracker UI [ Arcade Simulator ] Pre-alpha installer: https://tinyurl.com/2kcrkprh | Donation info: https://tinyurl.com/yzvgl4xo [ Community Drive ] The drive: http://tinyurl.com/yckze665 [ Fruit Machine Database ] Initial google sheets (WIP): https://tinyurl.com/2c5znxzz [ Fruit Machine ROM Archive ] The archive: https://tinyurl.com/3jhzbueb [ Fruit Machine Settings/Tests Guide ] https://tinyurl.com/yuebw8b5 [ MAME (fixes/improvements) ] Commits: https://github.com/johnparker007/mame/commits/master/?author=johnparker007 [ MFME Launch ] Source code: https://github.com/johnparker007/MFMELaunch [ Oasis ] Source code: https://github.com/johnparker007/Oasis [ Sound ROM Editor ] Source code: https://github.com/johnparker007/SoundRomEditor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thealteredemu Posted August 30, 2024 Report Share Posted August 30, 2024 I do t think I played that many Amiga. I do remember doing a lot of sampling. It was a beast of a machine back in the day. I think Kris got the A1200, I remember going with him to Dixons ha ha. I believe it had a way faster CPU than the A500. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Sampling - it was all about having the Technosound Turbo, and then I think Aegis Audiomaster for editing the samples. I went A500 then later A1200. I now have rebought both for my retro computer collection (though I do need to fix my A1200, I fried something, prob a CIA chip, with a dodgy PSU). A500 had a 68000 CPU at 7Mhz, but the A1200 had a 68020 CPU at 14Mhz. The A1200 also got significantly faster when you installed a RAM expansion (due to the bonkers-ness of those old architectures). I had a 4MB expansion back in the day and a 40MB hard drive, I now have a modern built 8GB expansion and something like a 2GB Compact Flash IDE drive). Also now outputting RGB over SCART, compared to the old days where I was outputting Composite (still better than grotty RF through the big TV modulator that plugged in the back, but no rival to the supreme quality of RGB SCART).
