[comp.sys.amiga.audio] Well, then, how about a tracker for the NeXT?

Wow.  I read this with great interest.  My project for the summer would
have been a module player for the NeXT.  I'm a fledgeling programmer,
and I don't know too much about programming the NeXT, but since I've got
one I might as well use it.

I assumed the DSP could play the samples-- at the very least it could
emulate it, right?  Does anyone know of any obstacles I might run across in
trying to make one of these things?

No flames about this being in the wrong group.  This is about tracker
modules, not the NeXT.  I still love my Amy more ;-)
