I have an AMAS sampler which suits my infrequent use fairly well. The minor niggles which I have are to do with the software which comes with it. The software provides few special effects, (reverse, bounce, scale), and does not match its documentation perfectly. It provides only the ability to play shortish samples at high sampling rates. To rub salt in the wounds it has one or two apparently useless features such as the led style graphics equaliser display, I wish the programmer had added a more useful feature in place of this. It also annoys me that that the screen goes blank while the machine is operating, it feels very uncomfortable. I have not evaluated the quality of its samples against other s/w hardware combinations. I certainly think I'll have to get some other s/w packages before I can do everthing which interests me.

I believe that AMAS is the best sound digitizer for the AMIGA

(I know, bad question but I had to ask). Incidentally, I own an Amiga 3000 so please include in your posting if your equipment is A3000 compatible. Thanks, Bill

The AMAS sampler came out way on top hardware wise. It is a very clean sampler and it includes MIDI in/out/thru. My biggest beef with it is the software. I think AudioMaster works with the AMAS. I am looking to get something, anything, which will record to disk or at least record more than 2Meg samples. -- Jerry Thompson | // checks ___________ | "I'm into S&M, I loved the peace and solitude | \\ // and | | | | Sarcasm and so much, I invited my friends. | \X/ balances /_\ | /_\ | Mass Sarcasm."

AudioMaster works with the AMAS (works with mine, anyway). Even on a
3000 under 2.0.
