Atari St Emulation With Midi Support For Mac Mac
I know I know. But let's have a word in edgeways on this Commodore board.
Once in a while retro software is the only thing to do the job. An ST now acts as MIDI controller to convert Omni MIDI to single channel in realtime, using Edit Track. An ST is now cheaper than a box and operates little features I would have to install sprawling programs for on the PC. And it can run in chain between instruments and sequencer PC. Except for Bome Mouse Keyboard or Cantabile 1.2, which can also do stacks more. But the ST for these is more flexible in chain and does free up the PC for main duties.] Some fantastic miscellaneous, too much of it with no Windows equivalent: However, I much prefer running these odds and ends on a PC screwed to the wall.
Two old Compaqs are a godsend to both run VST software in realtime in the keyboard room, plus format 720K floppies and handle other obsolete connections too. Mouse keyboard players, kooky composers, MIDI controllers, no-frills sequencers. I'm yet to discover them all and these compliment the other 'retro wall' specials sublimely. 600Mhz 128 RAM SB Live.jpg (93. 
75 KiB) Viewed 22038 times The STEEM ENGINE works superbly, interfacing with the PC's MIDI and being able to access disk images and uncompiled archives. You wouldn't even need an original system, which I found rather scanty compared to the Amiga 500 I've used for similar things. Though an original can copy disks from ST format to IBM, which can then be taken up on the emulator, as well as the below which can compile direct to ST images. There's still plenty fresh in the vaults beyond the usual Cubase.
I don't doubt the ST's long-earned reputation as a studio essential and there's much archive stuff to prove it. _________________ DATA TRANSFER: Floppy Image And File Transfer Program - FORMATTING A 'BIG' FLOPPY IN XP: ATARI SYSTEM DISKS: DISK TOOLS: FUN AND GAMES. A real proper DAW plugin.jpg (48.18 KiB) Viewed 21880 times No real ST? You can always have the rompler in the emulator or the actual ST without the interface.
Enable MIDI and run the software in Steem, the program folder put where the emulator accesses the 'hard drive'. (That's always best put in the STEEM root folder.) For period flavour I took a sample by The Alarm, so load that. Then play your keyboard or run the MIDI file to the input. Either that or load the sample into an editor and save as whatever you like. A good free one is Gold Wave and you can create your own Atari samples without the box. Just save as a signed 8 bit, 16khz. (or thereabouts) RAW.
Also maybe change the file extension too. And there we are.
Anybody can have that Atari ST retro sound. Not very good but you can have it. My nice piano sample. Rather smooth too, especially as it was made and saved on a modern DAW. And downsampled to 11 khz., it does sound a bit like an electric. Some people didn't want the cut down home one and plumped for a real studio editing solution.
I didn't know they were as good as this for personal computers that far back. Digidesign Atari ST Sound Tools.jpg (193.37 KiB) Viewed 21880 times ______________________ Just one thing: When a sample's loaded and the thing's in MIDI mode, just hit Test. And hit ESC in some modes which appear to be stuck.
And I think the realtime effects routing is very game. Way off for anything studio-worthy but still a nice little box of tricks for an old Portastudio rig, especially as some light reverb refines the sound a bit - just like an inexpensive FM radio with its layer of fuzz. (That only works if you grab yourself the input cartridge of course.) Things like assigning different samples to the function keys you can work out for yourself. Glad you like 'em! You know how I like to poke about in the dusty old corners.
Lastly Lastly. An Atari ST, right on the doorstep this morning. Bit more to play with. Full width for screen too: Odd man out but at least this new one isn't yellow: The ST can still be a bit of a sod. For one thing, you could need both a telly and monitor for different programs and it would have been a bit fiddly plugging control devices in at the bottom. But if that's all the convenience you had to give up in exchange for inbuilt MIDI and OS, you'd have done pretty well.
