Commodore AMIGA 1200
USA
1992


Since the early 90s the commodore Amiga has been used a lot in Legowelt
productions, for sequencing, sampling or just for about everything. It
all started on an Amiga 500 (1989), then an Amiga 2000 (1990) and then
an Amiga 1200 (1993 and another A1200 in 2001 or something). The Amiga 1200 is a 32 bit
multitasking computer and not as some people today think some kind of 8
bit 80s computer.
The main music program I use is a Finnish program called
OCTAMED, not the "professional" soundstudio version but the last normal
version (from around 1992). Using the Amiga's PAULA soundchip you
can sequence
4 tracks of 8 bit samples on different pitches making it a kind of
really cool sampling drummachine...a really ghetto SP1200 / MPC2000 or
whatever. Octamed can also sequence 32 MIDI tracks and send SYNC to
perfectly sync drummachines.
Amiga sounds:
The Stars, The
Universe etc. (drums are Roland JS30)
A
Powerfull Vision The entire track is Octamed through a Korg MS20.
