Same engine. New UI. 30+ years later.

History

DigiStudio was written in the early 1990s for an 8 MHz 80286. Software mixing played four sampled channels — even on the PC speaker. We were among the first. Same tech later ran in Pinball Fantasies: four-channel Amiga-style music mixed in software.

8 MHz. Four channels. No excuses.

Not a reimplementation — original DigiStudio / TSP / FLD source converted for modern systems. Same engine as DigiStudio 2.0 and PC Pinball Fantasies / Illusions. Kept original behaviour (and probably the bugs). UI rewritten.
