Hi,
I am buying an Amiga to, among other things, track some Hively and AHX. I've purchased an A1200 and now I am looking at a 030/42mhz card to go with it.
Will this be sufficient to create some multichannel HVL tunes or will I have to keep doing that on the mac port of Hively?
For AHX I will probably use the standard AHX editor which I guess will be fine with that card anyway.
Thanks!

The 030 will be fine for AHX, but too slow for hively, sadly.
You really need at least an 060 for HivelyTracker on Amiga 68k.
AHX forever! |

Thank you for the reply Xeron.
With "too slow", do you mean that it won't start at all or that I won't be abe to play any songs over 4 channels or what will the actual consequence be?
I might be confused but the normal AHX editor takes like 10% CPU for a normal AHX song so I imagined that Hively would be able to play at least 4-8 channels of HVL on it, and perhaps even more with the 030 card?

AHX uses the 4 hardware channel of Paula.
Hively mixes the channels in software to 2 stereo channels (thats what modern systems expect), so even a 4 channel song will take more CPU time than AHX on a 68k amiga.
AHX forever! |

Ah, of course. Thanks for clearing that up. A 060 seems to work just fine though, confirmed it on a scene buddys setup :).
