"A Revolutionary Piece of Music Software" OctaMED has earned it's new name, it's author Teijo Kinnunen has worked some minor miracles and apparently added about every feature that has ever been requested. I'd advise any Amiga musician to get hold of it and sample it's delights without delay, you won't be sorry you did. Ease of use: 90% Highly configurable and everything works from logical windows and menus. Performance: 95% Frankly there is no other software that can touch it in any department: 16-bit output, hard disk recording, 64 channels..... Value for Money: 90% A good price for a piece of software that gets the most possible from your Amiga. CU Amiga Overall Award: 94% Tony Horgan. Editor CU Amiga Magazine

"Definitely the best in Amiga tracking Programs" Now OctaMED the next generation is upon us and, once again, it leap-frogs any competition. Simply put, Soundstudio is the ultimate in tracking programs and offers us a glimpse into the future of electronic music composition as a whole. The CD is great value for money, not only do you get the program but a zillion samples and modules. The pinnacle of music creation on the Amiga and it's a must-have for all music fans. There is and will be no equal. Gold Award 95% John Kennedy. Amiga Format

"Good news for all musically-oriented Amiga owners" Everyone knows that with the demise of Blue Ribbon and so on, Amiga musicians have had a pretty disastrous six months, but, with the appearance of this new Soundstudio package things do at last look certain to brighten up in a big way. Soundstudio is the best music tracker that has ever appeared, or is likely to appear, on the Amiga. Rating: 96% Paul Overaa. Amiga User International

A few comments from customers


OctaMED Soundstudio is the dawn of a new era for the Amiga, now we can have music in 16-bit! I have used Cubase on other machines and it is possibly one of the most overrated and overpriced peices of software I have ever used, Soundstudio is worth every penny, thanks for an amazing program. Mark Forbes.


Well Done! I received Soundstudio today and spent the whole day on trying my V5/V6-compositions out on it; and I have to say, its very impressing ! Some days ago, I installed CyberSound, ( I thought it might be a good idea) and OctaMED now makes use of it ! The SAVE-TO-DISK-16bit option is very useful for me, as it is the only way to take advantage of the high mixing rates with AURA I do not own a VGA-monitor that would make it possible to use the productivity-modes, but anyway, 28000 Hz mixing in real time with 16 voices without making the CPU slow down is far more than I expected ! (Blizzard 1230-IV 50 MHz/32MB FASTRAM) I never thought that OctaMED is such an important part of your lives,(Teijo and Ray), before I read all those interesting texts on the CD. Thank you for your hard work on OctaMED, it is now so good and complete like no program I've seen before. I have been disappointed so many times because the previous software I bought could not do what I expected, but know ....... This version absolutely deserves the title

"SoundStudio"

Actually, I cannot imagine what could get improved. Sascha Reichert.

Most Excellent!

OctaMED is simply the best! David Williams.


A Perfectly Unique Program. Simply no compareable program on any platform for the average user that is interested in easily making music on a computer. Michael Hof.
