Nou dat geluid moet je niet onderschatten, het heeft een bepaalde compressie ofzoiets, niet zozeer de samplers maar de amiga zelf heeft een speciale geluidschip, de "Paula" (ja zo heet die) om samples of te spelen dat heeft zeker een eigen sound...
Van wikipedia:
The Paula chip is mainly used to produce audio output. The chip has 4 DMA-driven 8-bit PCM sample sound channels. Two sound channels are mixed into the left audio output, and the other two are mixed into the right output, producing stereo audio output. The only supported hardware sample format is signed linear 8-bit two's complement. Each sound channel has an independent volume and frequency. Internally, the audio hardware is implemented by four state machines each having eight different states.
Additionally the hardware allows one channel in a channel pair to modulate the other channel's period or amplitude. It is rarely used on Amiga, but could be used to achieve tremolo and vibrato like effects.
With some special programming tricks it is possible to produce 14-bit audio by combining two channels set at different volumes, giving two 14-bit channels instead of four 8-bit channels.
On a regular NTSC or PAL screen display, audio playback is limited to a maximum sampling rate of 28867 Hz, due to the amount of data that can be fetched from memory in the time allocated to Paula. As explained in the discussion of Agnus, memory access is prioritised and only a few slots for memory access are available to Paula's sound channels. This limit can be overcome in the Enhanced Chip Set by using a higher frequency screen mode, or by using the CPU directly to drive audio output.
The Amiga contains an analog low-pass filter (reconstruction filter) which is external to Paula. The filter is a 12 dB/oct Butterworth low-pass filter at approximately 3.3 kHz. The filter can only be applied globally to all 4 channels. In models after the Amiga 1000, the brightness of the power LED is used to indicate the status of the filter. The filter is active when the LED is at normal brightness, and deactivated when dimmed (on early Amiga 500 models the LED went completely off). Models released before Amiga 1200 also have a static "tone knob" type lowpass filter that is enabled regardless of the optional "LED filter". This filter is a 6 dB/oct lowpass filter with cutoff frequency at 4.5 or 5 kHz.
...misschien is het psychisch maar een Amiga met octamed (want de software verschilt ook qua geluid
)knalt bijna als een SP12.
Het heeft ook iets te maken met de chip die Ensoniq gebruikte in hun spullen rond die tijd, daar was de Paula een afgeleide van ofzoiets (De Mirage sampling chip).
Luister maar naar ouwe gabber, jungle, unit moebius bunker platen, Black Dog etc. das typisch amiga sound.
Je hebt ook 12 bit en 16 bit sampler/geluidskaarten voor de Amiga.
