PC - Cubase v2.0 circa 1989 anyone?

Hi

I know it's a bit wrong, but if you download.....

Steem Atari ST Emulator (http://steem.atari.st/download.htm) and

Midi OX (http://www.midiox.com/) - for Midi Yoke inputs and outputs, and

Cubase 2.0 (http://www.geocities.com/wjdegraaf_geo/mc303/cubase.html) - image that works in Steem.

.... then you have a fully operational Cubase 2.0, circa 1989, that you can use as a MIDI sequencer to trigger VSTis/whatever via another DAW/standalone and even hook up that DAWs transport up via MTC to record audio in sync. You just set the MIDI output of Steem to Midi Yoke 1 and use Midi Yoke 1's channels as inputs in the host.

Great fun, and it makes a big difference firing the MIDI at quality VSTis (I use Tracktion v3 as a host) than a crappy TG-500 and Ensoniq ASR-10.

Anyway, judgeth ye not and have fun.

Yup, that it would. I believe though that the joy this emparts to the world outweighs the potential drawback seen if I installed it on a laptop, travelled back in time 20 years and distributed it judiciously on 3 1/4" FDD - the only case where it would harm revenue, jobs or people in any way.

So it is a bit wrong, but unlike present day warez use, isn't actually doing any harm but instead is just spreading some love.

The whole emulator thing is great for reliving distant memories. The first computer I had was the Amstrad CPC464 and playing some of those games really does open a portal to youth that I think is impossible to open any other way.

I'll delete the post if the consensus is that I am a "wrong yin".
