Sound is 8 bit, with a 4 voice synth built into the machine. Therefore, you
can have 4 separate instruments (or sounds) playing single note lines
simultaneously, or you can have one instrument playing 4 mote chords, or you
can have any combination which uses up to 4 voices at once.
It also has a voice synthesizer built into the standard system software.
It multitasks (you can run more than one program at a time).
It can support 320×200 or 400 screens with up to 32 colors (64 colors using
extra halfbrite mode, but the other 32 are the same colors with half the
brightness i.e. a bright green and a muted green, etc.)
It can support 320×200 or 400 (pixels) screens with up to 4,096 colors at once
in HAM (hold and modify) mode (you have to see this to believe it).
It can support 640×200 or 400 screens with up to 16 colors. (BTW, the 400
screens are interlaced, like you TV screen, so on a computer monitor they
flicker. However, because they are interlaced (like your TV) you can output
Amiga screens and animation to a video tape recorder with interface devices
that cost as little as $75.)
There are terrific paint, animation and 3-D ray tracing programs available,
