Well...sorry to one up anyone but after hearing Edgar Winters Frankenstein on the radio when it was first released...I bought one of the first series of ARP 2600s. It was killer diller but would NOT stay in tune or travel well. But when I wore the keyboard...yes I made a strap...and played it, it did wow the sick and shut in

Mine was seeing Tangerine Dream in 1972...then buying an Arp2600 the following year...took me all that time to save up for it....Still have the thing too...as well as a Minimoog....and building my own modular system...


Now I'm a parts-o-holic....

Ultimate 1985 synth 

2011 and it's still going..  people still write stuff on it.. not commercially though. The latest trick is to get it to do what sequencers do , and also play amiga mod files.

remember this is done in 64k INCLUDING the sample.


sadly certain "producers" seem to like it a bit too much.. go look up "timberland finnish"

Thanx FOG

Just shows what you can really do with a computer...my cousins used to use Commodore to make music. 

I cannot recall one single drop out and the music had everything in it...talk about gapless audio in that vid nice one!

Cake 3.4 was not far ahead of all this actually - but it was so much fun to program stuff! Where'd the good times go?...

I'd started with a Compaq luggable with Texture and a Roland MPU-401 driving a TR-606, JX-3P,
FB-01, etc.
 
But what blew my mind and caused me to sell my PC was C-Lab's Notator.  I saw notes leap onto the staff as they were being played in via MIDI - this was too much to believe.  Of course, I had to buy an Atari 1040 with a monochrome monitor.  Talk about a dedicated platform. 

Hours and hours and hours with this program...

I hope that sanyo reel to reel had simul-sync
Mine was an 8 track greenscreen AMS Audiofile around ummmmm...... 1986/7/8.

I'd seen one in Rhinoceros studios in Sydney 1984 where they called in a guy who owned one to do some drum replacement on a band I was roadying for. We were amazed at this thing. A #1 hit came off that album. " Sh*t, you can do that?"

Some years later I ended up at Channel 7 in Sydney driving the staging truck and they finally gave me a go in audio.
I was the first guy trained on the Audiofile to do the soapie "Home & Away"
Not music I know, but still.....
Didn't touch anything to do with music or audio for the next 20 or so years - kids etc.
A mate put me on to Sonar (6). I couldn't believe all that stuff could come in a box. Digital eh?
But if I never had that short experience with the Audiophile I think I would have put DAW in the too hard basket and bought a red sports car for my mid life crisis.
I believe I have a commodore 64 in its original box, manuals et al at home somewhere. Its a funny old world.

Oh yeah - and I LOVE Frankenstein.
