Hey all you coool Amiga sound/music gurus!

I got inspired by listening to Jackal's "Lumberjack Song" recently and wondered
if there is some sort of a sound file out there that I can dump into MED, 
Protracker, Startracker or the like of a chainsaw.  It was a really cool 
song if you haven't heard it on the radio yet.... They took the sound of 
an operating chainsaw and naturally ran it through a digital editor of 
some sort and came up with a guitar solo out of it... er, "chainsaw solo."

I want to fool around with this sound, but I don't have any sampling equip
ment of my own....  Anyone have this sound?

Please email me... I don't often get to read this group.

   Yes, Paula in the A4000 is completely unimproved from the A1000, when it was
called Portia.  Portia and Paula are exactly the same chip.

I'm looking for a mod PLAYER that can be used to play mods from the CLI or
a script; no fancy screen, no gfx, no editing, just playing.  If one exists,
could someone direct me to an ftp site?  Also, if it matters, it should be
compatible with ProTracker.  Thanx in advance.

They could do it before MOD301.  A friend of mine makes mods (yes, in
tracker format) with ScreamTracker (and they sound pretty good too). 
The only difference is MOD301 has Proteacker support.  Anyway, my firend
FTPed a copy of MOD301 as soon as he found out about it, and he didn't
like it.  So for now, he's sticking with ScreamTracker (at least until
something better comes along, like the mod editor that comes with his
new 16 bit soundcard he ordered).

There isn't any. :-(  The Amiga seems to have been set aside in the MIDI
marketplace with very will support in MIDI software.  Sad, since the Amiuga
has such terrific hardware.  If I were to recommend any Amiga package, that
would be Dr.T's KCS V3.2 Level II software.  It really isn't an "Amiga"
specific package, but it is probably the most powerful.  There are
basically 3 MIDI sequencing packages available at the moment:
          1) Dr.T's KCS
          2) Bars & Pipes Professional
          3) Music-X
   #2 is very full featured but the interface will entertain your 3 year
old 
    more than lay down inportant musical tracks.
   #3 had potential, but bugs and poor support from the its makers 
   (MicroIllusions) placed an early death on this package.
For patch editors and librarian programs, the situation is a bit better
although only 2 major entries are recognized:  Dr.T's X-Or general
graphical editor/librarian, and Sound Quest's MIDIQuest editor/librarian. 
Both ofnthese packages are up to the specs of their versions on other
platforms and both are very useful IF they havea driver that fully supports
your particular instrument.

Not nearly as good as MultiPlayer. You have your list of mods in a window,
can drag icons into the window to add them to the list, and have them
playing in a custom order, random order, etc.

One of the best-written pieces of software I have seen on the Amiga. It

Ok... so how does this new version of MODEDIT compare to OctaMED v3 and 
ProTracker for Amigas?  
Does it support the Gravis Ultrasound and other boards' 16-bit sounds, or
does it just handle that old SoundBlaster 8-bit/4-channel junk?
How many channels?  Does it support MIDI?

I'd like to use 16-channel, 16-bit sounds like with the GUS on the PC with MIDI but without a good pattern-oriented sequencer it's pretty useless.
So what's the deal?  How good is MODEDIT, and if it's not so hot, then is it going to get better?

Whatever they tell you, don't believe it!  MicroIllusions was paying for
full-page colour ads in major magazines about a YEAR before they finally
shipped v1.0.  I called and called and called and was usually given the answer
"it should ship within a month".  Either the disks were out for duplication or
the documentation was at the printers, but this story persisted for over 6
months.  Unless the new group has significantly cleaned up their act, I
wouldn't hold your breath for any date they give you.

On this subject(sort of), Does anyone know if there is a program to convert sparc 
audio files so they can be played on the amiga. If there is it would be very handy
because I could sample stuff at work and then take it home and use them in my programs.

Why not do it yourself?  It seems like several of you guys would like it

Could a few of the people who make mod files tell me how you make your samples
so small.  I have DSS8 and a sample 4-5 seconds long at a medium sample rate
comes out to be around 50 k or so.  When the song takes between 7-8 samples
that comes out to 400 k or so before you even make the song.  Please, I am new
at this and would like to make my own but I just don't know how you guys do it.

  You liked that mod?  No offense to the person who write it, but It could have
been much better.  If we;re talking about the same mod, the guitar lead is 
all wrong.  Nice Idea though...

  By the way, shawn, what kinds of music do you like?  I have listened to

Unfortunately, Band-in-a-Box has not yet been ported to the Amiga, and I
haven't heard of any plans yet to do so.  One package you may want to
investigate is SuperJam from Blue Ribbon Soundworks.  Although not quite the
same concept as B-in-a-B, it's not a bad start.  I just spotted an announcement
that a new version of SuperJam is scheduled to ship in December as well.
