Funny. I found Speed Devils as good as Partyland. The two others didn't

I still beleive that Pro-Tracker Version 1.3 is the Best PT ever...BUt i
havent checked out version 2.3 or 3.0..I do like the way 1.3 is so small
and still crashes less times then 2.2...It multitasks fine on my 1.3
A500,and seems a bit more 'user friendly' then other versions... 
Still... if they could make it alittle bit more feel like
MED...ahhh,(sigh)..

MED only supports Perfect Sound versions BEFORE 3.0.  When PerfectSound
introduced 3.0, they for some reason decided to make themselves
hardware-incompatible with all previous versions of their own product.
So, MED and most PD sampler programs only support pre-3.0 versions of
PerfectSound.

My brother does all his sampling with MED and some old PerfectSound hardware
(before 3.0 came out) and it works just fine.  I was thinking about buying
a sampler myself, but I can no longer be sure which ones are compatible
with MED etc.  I would imagine that most of the "build-it-yourself" ones
floating around on the net are compatible (the old interface was extremely
simple).

Delitracker should be on that list bar none.  Delitracker plays more stuff

In fact CLR does 2 accesses only in 68000. On accelerated machines it works
as it should. 
So this is not a problem with ProTracker, I've seen it running on plain

I'd be nice if it would adhere to my overscan prefs, which has more than

I'm just waiting for a totaly machine-friendly tracker which is a bit more

	Sadly, I agree with your assessment of the Amiga sequencer scene.
However, both Music-X and Bars&Pipes are due to have new versions in
the next few months.  Perhaps they will be improvements.

	Mac sequencers like Performer and Vision blow away all the Amiga
sequencers, IMHO.

	No sequencer will ever do "all I ever need."  But Cubase is nice,
I'm sure.

	No flames here.

Yes, it is one of the best Amiga-MODs ever made.

The writer(composer) of this great module is working under the
name Captain. He belonged to a team called Image and did lots of
other works under that name. Maybe you have heard of "Beyond Music"?

Nowadays he is a member of Techno-band called "Dance Nation".. which is
one of the best techno-bands here in Finland.

If you want to credit him, do it by using his nickname "Captain/Dance Nation".
He's real name is "Markus Kaarlonen"..so if your product(video) is something
like commercial etc...give also credits to his real name.  Thank you.

	Yes, I know all about the Rules For Tools stuff, but I would not say
it can do "just about anything you imagine."  The way I understand it, a
"tool" is useful only if you view your music as streams of notes that can be
processed by some functions (tools) on input and output.  That is a powerful
paradigm, but it's not the only way to view composition by any means.  Using
an analogy of a printed score, I have yet to see a MIDI sequencer that lets
you manipulate your music "vertically" (simultaneous events across different
tracks) as well as it can "horizontally" (sequential tracks).

	BTW, an assembler lets you do "just about anything you can imagine"
on your Amiga, but I wouldn't call an assembler the ultimate application.
1/2 :-)

>I have not used any other of the swquencers for the amiga, but I have yet
>to find something that I couldn't do, or couldn;t write the tool to do...

	Just FYI, Music-X has an ARexx port and a developer's kit for doing
similar things.  I've written a few simple things and can see how it could
get complex & powerful if necessary.
