ahhh the Atari 1040ste and Akai samplers that takes me back :-)
ReplyDeleteFloppies..lols..it was hard back than...
ReplyDeleteexcellent vid.
doesn't seem like that long ago. I didn't use anything analog at the time. My main piece was an Ensoniq EPS sampler with it's internal sequencer and also an Atari 1040. Also used an MMT-8 for sequencing drums.
ReplyDeleteA few things I remember...
- sample CD's were pretty new and I used them all the time with the sampler.
- an 4MB RAM upgrade for a sampler was about $400.
- tons of floppy's.
cool video.
sweet video - love all that analogue gear in the background :)
ReplyDeleteI remember that time well too, Was using Cubase 1 on a Mac LCII. EmaxII Sampler, JV-880, KorgM3R and a Juno-6.
ReplyDeleteTwo years before I saw a Nord and 5before VSTi's and 10 before I rediscovered analog.
Using a Roland 700 for producing a series of "boom boom boom boom..." puzzles me...
ReplyDeleteAh, yes! Back then, I had the 1040ST (chose that over a Mac, since it had 2x the memory, built in MIDI, and was in color!), Cubase Lite (fit on 1 floppy), a Poly 800-ii, and a DSS-1 (which I still use). This synched to the 707 drum machine. I also had a Pro-1 (sold for rent money post Katrina), and an MS-20 (still got that one!). But, they couldn't be MIDI recorded, so didn't get so much use back then. Mostly I'd just have Cubase Lite play a couple looped bits and solo over it, while plugged into the Fostec 8 track reel to reel (complete w/ gigantic 8 channel mixer). mixed to cassette, then later to Sony DAT (complete w/ SCMS DRM...). Darn, I *love* the new computer revolution!!!
ReplyDeleteA few years later, I bought my first synth: JX8P with the programmer. Followed by an Akai S2800, and a MKS-7. Midi-ed it all up to my Mac LC running Cubase. I had a Zip drive for the S2800, so I didn't mess with floppies for very long. Recorded all to cassette tape... remember cassettes? wow... times have changed.
ReplyDeleteI don't use MIDI anymore... now its hardware sequencers, lots of analogue gear, audio loops recorded to a Mac then spliced, stretched, and screwed up in Logic.
