Hello. I thought that the "amigamod" format should be considered as a mixist class instead of a chipist class.

Mainly because amigamod is based on samples, and also because now, since the limit of amigamod is 256kb, isn't anymore limited to just chip sounds.

I think that only having 4 channels, and a somewhat low max sample rate, imposes a lot of chiptune- like limitations on amigamod. It's fine where it is

Even though multiple channels on the Amiga can be mixed on 4 for the cost of CPU time, the .mod format doesn't do this thing and as such, I would consider it a Chipist format because it uses the barebones limitations and quirks of the PAULA chip. If we had OctaMED as a format, I think that would be closer to a Mixist format because you can do a lot more with it.
