- pjmlp 8y agoAdlib came out first. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_Lib,_Inc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_Lib,_Inc. Then Yamaha, Roland, SoundBlaster, ... and nowadays most people don't care what their audio chip looks like, unless they are doing professional audio.
- cronix 8y agoYes we had FM/wavetable synthesis, etc., I was more meaning sampling/trackers used in MODs which really made Amigas stand out.
- pjmlp 8y agoAh ok. Endless hours spent with Protracker. :) I remeber a guy at school getting a MS-DOS driver that would drive the speaker in such a way that we could hear midi/mod files instead of the typical lousy beeps. Still, it required lots of teenage imagination to think it sound anything worthwhile listening to.
