  • connects to the Amiga via the parallel port with passthrough port (switch at the front panel)
  • supplied with Audio Engineer I or II by RamScan
    AudioEngineer I (1990)
  • program samples into FastRAM and utilizes all memory, allowing very large samples
  • cut / copy /paste
  • pitch correction
  • frequency cut boosting
  • loop creation
  • echo, delay, flange realtime effects (directly applied to output signal)
  • manual edit of waveform (drawing by mouse)
  • waveform combine
  • reverse
  • resample function allows changing the waveform to different sampling rate
  • multi loop facility (sample sequencer)
  • stereo oscilloscope display
  • output formats: IFF 8SVX, extended IFF, compressed IFF, Aegis Sonix
  • software also supports other samplers like A.M.A.S., FutureSound 500, Perfect Sound or StarSound
    AudioEngineer II (1991)
  • features of the previous version, plus:
  • 4 times oversampling to reduce aliasing
  • real-time pitch shift
  • digital filtering (graphic equalizer)
  • progress meters
  • real-time zoom in/out
  • time compression / expansion
  • increased speed of filter effects
  • software bias offset
    Notes
  • author of the software is Peter Norman, who developed the Aegis AudioMaster I & II and changed later to RamScan - therefore, there are a lot of similarities between the programs
  • the AudioEngineer sampling software was sold in the US as Aegis Audiomaster III
  • a cost reduced bundle was offered by GSOFT with a mono sound sampler: Audio Engineer Junior

  • the 4×1 matrix inputs are connected to BNC connectors located on the back of the card
  • inputs to the 8×1 matrix originate from the card edge (ISA) connector, so this switching matrix is unused in Amiga systems (it is limited to use with the DPS ES-2000 rackmount expansion system)

    processor
  • 68040 @ 28 / 33 / 40 MHz
    • the board was available with an empty CPU socket to put an existing 25 MHz 68040 into it
    • the 28 MHz 68040 is an overclocked 25 MHz one
    memory
  • A4000: four 72 pin SIMM sockets accepts up to 128 MB RAM
  • A3000: two 72 pin SIMM sockets accept up to 64 MB RAM
  • supports 4, 8, 16, 32 MB, 60-80 ns SIMMs
    • 40 MHz version needs 60 ns SIMMs
    • 33 MHZ needs 70 ns
    • 28 MHz needs 80 ns
  • full 040 burst memory access (4/2/2/2 clock cycles - 64 MB/s memory bandwidth)
  • configuration
    • wait-state jumpers for slow SIMMs
    • jumpers for setting the size of the biggest SIMM
    • jumpers for double-sided SIMMs
    Fast SCSI 2 controller
  • NCR 53C710 @ 40 MHz
  • 32 bit SCSI host bus DMA interface supporting burst to/from RAM
  • max 10 MB/s synchronous transfer speed
  • autoboot ROM (warpdrive.device) - can be disabled by a jumper
  • incompatible with the A3000's motherboard SCSI controller - replacing the A3000's SCSI chip to rev. 08 solves the problem
  • external SCSI connector is only available separately
  • supported by Linux, NetBSD and OpenBSD
    notes
  • cannot maprom
  • MMU and cache disable jumpers
    A3000 notes
  • not expected to work with static column RAM on the motherboard
  • can provide 25 MHz clock signal to the motherboard (useful for a 16 MHz A3000 system)
