Re: [CZsynth] Re: CZ software interface.

2007-02-06 by Rich Allen

Oh man, The Amiga! I miss it. I really miss the Amiga. I do have some 
cool Amiga stuff if any one is interested.
I have an excellent audio card. It's a Toccatta, and it workes pretty 
well for multi track recording. Very clean.
Also, a 3 port Midi interface from the Bars and Pipes guys. I may also 
have a Retina 24 bit video card, and
some other stuff.
