M IlH Printed in the UK and [A lZ A Z J distributed by COMAG ------ ISSUE SIX ■ JUNE 1993 AF UNCLEAR USER he prospect of 16-bit stereo sampling on T the Amiga will excite many bedroom musicians: Microdeal's Clarify 16 sampler is the first to offer such a capability. The smart- looking device plugs into your Amiga's serial and parallel ports via two ribbon connectors. And before you ask 'but where will I plug my MIDI interface?', the Clarify incorporates MIDI In and Out ports, as well as stereo inputs and outputs (all phono sockets). As this is the first Amiga stereo 16-bit sampler, none of the currently available sample sequencers (Music X, Soundlracker, Octamed etc) can use its stereo samples or even benefit from the improved 16-bit resolution, as none use the C larifys AVR file format: samples can be saved as IFF files, but that reduces them to standard 8-bit. Who knows, maybe new and updated It is with a heavy heart and sequencers may feature stereo and 16-bit lumpy throat that I bring you 1HE TWILIGHT options, but at the moment the Clarify must this issue’s words of wisdom.
