I just got OctaMED yesterday; a commercial 8 channel MED with all the features of MED v3.0, and less of the bugs (there's a 4-channel MED v3.10 out as well, methinks, but it's not included). The 8-channel stuff sounds a little ropey (well, the one demo does) but it's neat. It runs in Med-res mode, and manages to multitask whilst playing 8-channels on a 2 bitplane screen (on a stock A500). I'm not sure whether it can load Oktalyzer files, but the 8-channel MEDplayer is freely distributable. I reckon it's #10 Sterling well spent (#15 outside the UK). Amiganuts United are doing the distribution; typical of me, I can't remember their address. -- |Stewart C.

Is OctaMED written by Teijo Kinnunen or is someone taking his source and modifying it to make this new 8 voice MED? If Teijo isn't writing this little beast I think he should at least get partial payment and/or credit to this commercial product as it was/is his program (even if it is PD). If he is writing this, good for him. I am glad to see him making some money of his work, he deserves it. >The 8-channel stuff sounds a little ropey (well, the one demo does) but it's >neat.

Is there a PD external Player that comes with ? It'd be nice to hear some demo songs from it...... > >>The 8-channel stuff sounds a little ropey (well, the one demo does) but it's >>neat.
