New AURA page is available. Maintained by Markus Castren

16 Dec 96

As you may have seen I changed the pages somewhat. I removed the Delfina specific information because the same information is available in the Petsoff's pages and I couldn't provide anything which wasn't available there. So the pages are now called 'Amiga Audio Cards Home' and deals with all the Amiga Audio Cards. BTW. the reason for the delays in updating the information in these pages is due that fact that I just graduated and my final project work took my time for several weeks during november and december.

06 Dec 96

AudioLab 16 supporting Delfina has been released. Read more info from the Delfina pages (news section).

11 Oct 96

Toccata AHI driver is ready and functioning! Martin Blom wrote the driver himself.

More and more programs are going to support AHI in their next versions including: HippoPlayer, Digi Booster Pro And APlayer.

AHI Driver for Prelude is ready, so we have yet another card supported by the AHI and AHI keeps going like no Audio API for Amiga before it.

Apparently Plasma 32 will go trough some changes (again?). It remains to be seen when we will actually SEE (or more likely hear) one running..

AHI supporting version of Play 16 will be coming in near future. Beta version is already running (still a little buggy)

Release version of Octamed SoundStudio is now available.

Version 3.0 of Delfina's AHI driver will be using the DSP for mixing instead of previous version's Amiga CPU usage. The 3.0 is planned to be available in a few weeks.
Delfina Z3 is already on the drawing board. Also 66 Mhz version (instead of the current 40 Mhz) is likely to become available before christmas.
SoundStage Rev B is ready and it will be shipped with AudioLab.

13 July 96

A new soundcard for Amiga called Prelude is going to be released in near future. This low-cost card holds one of the SoundBlaster chip series. More info when it is released.

1 May 96 Delfina support in Octamed Sound Studio

Octamed Sound Studio V1 will feature Delfina 16-bit playback along with Toccata and Maestix supports.

20 Mar 96 Delfina to support AHI

The Delfina designer Teemu Suikki announced that Delfina's audio support will be done using AHI (Audio Hardware Interface by Martin Blom).

This means that when ANY audio program supports AHI it will automatically support delfina. In the first AHI driver versions multichannel mixing is done by the AHI, but since that doesn't use Delfinas most powerfull feature i.e. the motorola 56002 DSP it will only be a temporary solution. Delfina drivers are already available in Delfina's Support site.

AHI is freeware and available in aminet/dev/misc/ahi.lha
