Too limited usage other than amongst a niche, the Amiga audio chip was better to begin with. You can play MP3s on the good old Paula chip in pretty good 14 bit quality at 56khz stereo sound. MIDI interfaces could be added externally/internally. Real professionals got an Amiga anyway as Amigas were far better expandable with professional audio upgrades. |
Too true.
The Amiga soundchip (paula) was great, it had 4 independant 8bit sound channels, thus allowing 2 channel stereo sound. I remember using a great piece of software called octamed that allowed the channels to be split and play samples in more than the 4 channels. I recall making tracks in 16 channels.
It was a brilliant piece of software and nothing else out there could do music the same in the normal house than on an Amiga.
