Good to hear the thing is progressing well!

Frankly speaking, the gadtools-based GUI is a bit of a let-down but I understand that choosing a specific GUI toolkit like RA or MUI would complicate porting to other platforms.

How will using gadtools help to port to non-Amiga platforms ? When compared with MUI or anything else ?

I meant MorphOS and AROS, which I believe will be their primary targets after AmigaOS. Gadtools means a common denominator of the three systems.

Well, by being AHI independant, it seems they are targetting non Amiga platforms. And MUI is available in all three Amiga platforms. So I don't see the problem in using it...

Good luck, then

i'd remove the term "professional" from it, i don't see it used in any professional environment, it's already too much outdated, even for a tracker, and such a GUI would give headache to the bravest of producers...
as for non-amiga platforms, how would it compete with such a gem like Renoise ?

so it should better stick to the amigas, the third world.

I hope they keep the old school Amiga looking interface. I hated the skins they had on the old version. It made it seem to busy and complicated. Go the Octamed route and keep the interface simple.

Good job, we need more OS 4.x software as this and others.

DigiBooster 3 does use MUI :)
These screenshots were made without any Mui settings probably

With skins:

Great, does anybody know how much Midi support there will be?

pdm6_02.jpg looks good :)

There is no GadTools GUI. It is Magic User Interface in its basic config on AmigaOS 3.x. DigiBooster 3 and DigiRoller are both MUI applications with all benefits of this fact.

Ok, we stand corrected

If it does not use AHI then how does it output sound?

If it does not use AHI then how does it output sound?

It may use AHI (and it uses AHI in fact), but it does not depend on it. DigiBooster 2.x replayer relied on AHI resampling, mixing and effects (like echo). The new routine does all these things internally, just producing a ready downmix. It means AHI is only used as a backend for directing sound to a soundcard, but plays no role in module synthesising. This approach opens some new possibilities. The synthesis engine is portable, so having sample-by-sample precise replayer on non-Amiga systems is not a big work. On classic Amigas it is possible to bypass AHI completely, saving considerable amount of CPU power. Rendering a module to file does not require AHI to be installed at all...

I don't think that is the fault of Gadtools, I'd blame it in Topaz 8. It always makes things look old fashioned. Not as good as it used to look in '93 on my A1200.

What if you used the Paula hardware mode for this? Would it still be slower with the hardware doing the mixing? (As it should.)

Paula hardware mode is limited to 8 bits and 4 channels with no stereo panorama.
