I think we are moving backwards! > Atari 1040ST - yumm! I remember seeing one of them handling Master-Tracks Pro (I think that was it) which was available only for Atari and Mac - me? I was stuck on a PC running Voyetra and was green with envy! Oh happy day when I finally got a (drum roll please) Performa 600 with an OpCode MIDI Translator - later I bought my first synth, a Korg X5 - it was the first synth I saw that had a serial-direct port (MIDI I/O on a single DIN-8 serial cable;-perhaps a precursor to USB connection? Like Bill, my home unit has an M-Audio 2496 (so I can run an M-Powered version of ProTools) AND also a Fastlane from MOTU, which I used predominantly to be allowed to install all the device profiles that MOTU bundles in the MIDI driver.
