And Ultima III through VI provided music on the Atari ST and Amiga. However, with Ultima V, the Atari ST played songs in different locations/modes, and the Amiga had one unique song that played everywhere. The Atari ST also supported MIDI with Ultima III and IV, with IV supporting multiple channels for easy multi-timbral setup. Ultima III on the Atari ST using MIDI requires complex configuration for multi-timbral (assigning voices to different note ranges), due to it only using one channel for all voices--just like Ultima V on the Apple II using MIDI (yes, it's possible for both).Jerri Kohlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11032635160554411458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993165553021868648.post-15557913867567059072016-04-24T16:27:05.971-04:002016-04-24T16:27:05.971-04:00It was even available for the C64.
