here this is the version from the oss cdrom, patched with the upgrade on aminet: http://de3.aminet.net/biz/patch/sspatchv1_03.readme

the only difference between this and the freeware version is it might start slightly faster, and there is no proceed/nag screen when starting it. no other files included, this is just the executable. the only bad thing is that it cant be patched with the nsm patch. i've sent this to the author of the nsm patch, but i don't expect to hear anything back. anyways thought i'd post this here in case anyone was interested in it.

i avoid hosa if i can help it... they are really shitty. had the tip break off inside my soundcard a while back + was lucky it didnt destroy anything.

i use redco's custom cable service now. cheaper than guitar center (i think) and can customize whatever you want - brand, length, connectors, etc. i wish i made my own cables.

here's the manual add-on from the octamed ss cd: http://www.dirtybomb.tk/Manual.7z

That would be cool. I believe there was a manual add-on as well, which may or may not be in this folder. It's been years since I bothered to look through the guides.

If you or anyone else manages to figure out the process of how to get cha_filter working, PLEASE let me know.

some files you will need: http://www.dirtybomb.tk/nsm_tut.7z

NSM_075 goes in your Work directory. i originally grabbed it from here http://heim.ifi.uio.no/~ksvalast/nsm/in … hive.khtml
NSM goes in your octamed ss ditrectory. this is simply a directory containing the cha_ nsm plugins for octamed
Octamed_NSM goes in your octamed ss directory. this is the nsm patched version of octamed 1.03c. i also got this from the above address
Octamed#! goes wherever you want. this is just a script i made to make life easier. it starts octamed.

first, check the script (Octamed#!) and make whatever changes to it that match the paths of your octamed directory. mine is in "Work:Octamed_Sounstudio". it basically assigns the location of octamed, runs rexxmast, runs the nsmport, assigns the directory containing the plugins, and then runs the patched version of octamed. theres a couple of other lines in there commented out with ; the original nsm documentation suggested to copy all of the plugins to ram... but my amigas don't have much ram to spare so i changed it. --- btw, i highly recommend to do any editing to text files on the amiga itself. windows/mac tend to really mess up the formatting of text. simply open the script with the amiga editor 'ed', ie execute command "ed work:octamed_sounstudio/octamed#!"

next make sure the script is set to open with the default tool "c:iconx" otherwise it wont execute

if everything looks ok so far then just 2x click Octamed#! - it will do everything in the script and the patched version of octamed should start. i use the cha_bassdrum plugin below because its the easiest to test. choose amigados shell from the octamed menu

change to the assigned nsm directory (nsm:), check the usage of whatever plugin you want to run and run it. the nsm plugins have some documentation included with them

if you did everything right you should have a new bassdrum in instrument slot 1

if you want, you can test cha_filter on the created bassdrum from inst slot 1 > 2... cha_filter 1 2 res bp f 180 q 9 v 20
[boost the bass, increase volume x20]

if you dont have a flash or hard drive in your amiga then you will have to find some other way to get it working. if you have any problems let me know + i'll help you out.

... now if anyone knows how to disable the splash screen when starting octamed that'd be awesome wink
