I liked my A500 when I had it and used it lots.
But I loved my A1200 after I got it. Got it towered up with a Fast ATA expansion, CD-ROM drive and a Blizzard 1230 Mk IV. Sure, the framerate it got in Alien Breed 3D II wasn't good, but I still played that game to death on it - quite atmospheric. Great stuff, still use it today - though nowadays I have changed the specs a bit - different IDE expander, SATA->PATA converted DVD drive, Indivision AGA Mk3 and a Rapidroad USB. And of course, it's been recapped ![]() Still my most loved Amiga, use it weekly or more. Ironically, I like coding for the OCS systems more. |

Notice that I use the word instrument here. When I was making music, my Amiga was a sequencer, but also an instrument. As an instrument, I may have it routing through outboard processors that do more to the sound. When you are using it as a direct tracker only then you do have choices to make. Do you want the samples sounds to be more faithful reproduction of the source? If so, then you need to make sure you capture them, ideally with a good quality 16 bit sample and carefully downsample to 8 bit at whatever frequency range you can accept. This may mean using multiple samples over octaves or even over smaller note intervals. You are now treating Paula as a basic rompler. Or, if you are wanting a more harsh electronic sound, maybe you do the exact opposite and lean into lofi with all the characteristics it has. Personally, if I was using a sinewave bass, I'd generally have a long period loop because I don't want those ringing alias overtones for that. But if I'm using a saw type sound, it's quite nice. I probably have some music somewhere that makes use of this, but it isn't going to sound like basic tracker music because I'm using the Amiga as an instrument, with external processing and ultimately multitracked. |
