I am ready to buy an audio sampler for my Amiga 500. I was considering Perfect Sound until I heard of (possible) conflicts with the Audiomaster software. I also want to do some MIDI work eventually; is there a combined sampler/MIDI piece of hardware (is that what AMAS is)? Thanks for any and all recommendations.

I guess Perfect Sound 3.0 *does* work with AudioMaster III, but I think in
your case AMAS might be just the thing: AMAS is a sampler and simple MIDI
interface.

AMAS is indeed a combo MIDI/sampler unit. The main limitation is that it's
only able to do samples that are < 2 meg in size. If that doesn't bother you,
it's a good choice.

Forget about Perfect Sound. The 3.x hardware is incompatable with most 3rd party software and they screwed the 3.0 folks out of the additional software they'd promised (and mention in the manual). I bought Perfect Sound 3.0 and now wish very much that I'd gotten Audiomaster II. Oh well. Don't make the same mistake I made. Jordan

It will double your previous sampling rate, supports AMAS, Starsound, Gsound, PSOUND1,2,&3 and Future sound and a dubious "HIGH SPEED" setting which I have yet to figure out. It compresses sounds better and supports and extended form of looping. This gives you loads more sound for the time. Also comes with a cute little "cd player" interface sound playback program that will playback 20 samples. -- **************************************************************** ********* donb@bushido.uucp ****** ********* "My Opinions are my own, not anyone else's ****** ********* Organizational Affiliations ****** ********* CreativEdge Systems, the Multimedia Solution ****** ********* The Computer Shoppe, Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor, MI's ****** ********* Commodore-Amiga Education Dealer ******

Will it let you digitize directly to disk to get unlimited sound? From your description it doesn't, yet the little Atari ST has had a program to do this for quite a while! It is really annoying that they don't look to their HD owners. >-- >**************************************************************** >********* donb@bushido.uucp ****** >********* "My Opinions are my own, not anyone else's ****** >********* Organizational Affiliations ****** >********* CreativEdge Systems, the Multimedia Solution ****** >********* The Computer Shoppe, Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor, MI's ****** >********* Commodore-Amiga Education Dealer ****** -- Ethan Ethan Solomita: es1@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu GorbachevAwards++; free (SovietUnion); IndependentRepublics += 15;
