Just for the records I own Atari St and at the same time (1989 or so) an Amiga 2000 with Music-x and regularly connected via midi with my M1 and a pair of Akai S950. Amiga had still more than a sequencer to make some Music via midi.Gorgon wrote:You're wrong there. Cubase has been around since 1989 and was widely used, especially on the Atari ST with the built-in midi ports. That's also why Amiga lost the pro-musician's market, because everybody went apeshit when they saw the midi ports right in the case of the computer.Creativemind wrote: To think these tracks were made without a computer / daw in sight. All hardware. Maybe some mid 90's tracks might have used Cubase perhaps with an Atari ST or Amiga 500 computer but not sure.
A Roland W-30 is basically a DAW.Synths like the Yamaha DX7 or DX10, Roland SH-101, Roland W30 Workstation (Prodigy famously used for their debut tracks), Casio CZ-101, Korg M1 for the classic rave piano and maybe the Polysix or Mono/Poly perhaps. A lot of chart hits used the Yamaha TX81Z Sampler for it's presets such as the Lately Bass (Gat Décor - Do You Want It Right Now / Whigfield - Saturday Night / Haddaway - What Is Love?) and then the TR-707/727/808/909 drum machines and the 303 Bassline Generator, Akai MPC perhaps and not sure about effects or what have you.
I think Cubase / Notator refused to make an Amiga version, and the Atari had inbuilt MIDI ports, so they won all the school contracts. I'll never use Cubase, not even the free version, because of this. That effectively finished the Amiga + the silly legal infighting about copyright / patents that blighted the Amiga.lemec wrote: Just for the records I own Atari St and at the same time (1989 or so) an Amiga 2000 with Music-x ...

But Cubase wins for some market laws
