Could someone please tell me what programs does the AURA soundcard-system
support. And, are there any other soundcards available for A1200? (Info about
their support would be good too..)

Sound Card                  Program name
----------------------------------------

Aura 12                     Octamed 5.04+
Tocatta                     Octamed 6+

----------------------------------------

That's yer lot i'm afraid, Midi is the answer as far as getting improved sound
for the Amiga, plus you also can keep the equipment if you swap computers.

The main reason for the lack of support for Aura is it's burden on the CPU,
it's only use is as an input device for high quality 8-bit sounds, ie. Sample
at 12-bit and downgrade to 8.

for the price of 5-10 of these sampling cartridges/soundboards you can get a
decent midi sampler which will sound about 500% better than most of these
boards.

So it works on A1200, right? Is the price much higher than AURA's?

Well, that's what I'm basicly wanting it to do..

If you have only a 1200, and want a Sampler that does'nt take up a Par
port, then what other options do you have ??

Plus you/I might as well stick something in my PCMCIA Slot.
But finding an AURA for sale (new) is the problem,

I bought a used A2K several months ago and will probably look at
other options.
