I've been playing with the Synthia 2 demo off and on since early this past
summer when it was uploaded to the ORIGINAL xanth.cs.odu.edu ftp-site. Now
it is located on abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov. Anywho, I may want to order this
program as a holiday gift, so I'd like any opinions/comments you who have
used/own the final product would like to offer. Please note that I am
refering to the Amiga-sound version of Synthia 2, NOT Synthia Professional.
If you respond, try to address the following points while adding your own
insights:
1. The demo I have takes a while when you 'MAKE' a sound. Is this a function
of running the program on a stock (read 'slow') Amiga or is the release
version of the program faster? I suspect the former, but still hope
desperately for the latter. :-)
2. Documentation: what's it like? Specifically, do they give plenty of info
on what can/can't be synthesized with the various methods the program
offers? Is there sufficient information on how each method works and
are all of the various effects documented?
3. Does anything that is supposed to work, not work?
4. Your opinions, please.
Email is o.k., posts are o.k.; this is probably of general interest--do what
you have to do. :-)
