Amiga musicians...
I have a modest A500 and the AMAS sampler(8-bit) which comes with its
software(which doesn't do the things I want!) Does anyone know of any good
performance programs, hence a program aimed more at the playing of samples
as opposed to the editing thereof. I'm looking for :
* total MIDI support (like pitch bender, velocity and aftertouch, pgm changes
activating different splits etc... the
whole nine yard!)
* multiple loop points (EMACS style Start,Loop1,Loop2,End markers...)
* Envelope support (Standard ADSR...I'm not too picky with this)
* A bunch of looping styles (AMAS supports what AKAI people call DRUM TRIGGER
looping. Hence you hit the key and the sample plays til its end. Handy for
those FRONT242 style quotes but I want it to do things like normal looping
until I release the key, (and then release), ONE-SHOT, Alternating(Looping
alternating between forward and backwards playback)...
Alot of programs are out right now that don't have ALL the features I'm looking
for in one package. If anyone knows anything, let me know! (If worse comes to
worse, I'll just put aside a month or two and write something but I DO dread
that alternative for I don't have time for it!)
Thanks,

ps: As far as this is concerned I'm a musician more than a computer person(or
atleast I'd prefer it to be that way!!) I'm into the cyber industrial scene
so thats the sort of sampling I'm interested in!
