Something reminds me that in the 90es I was probably convinced Atari was for videogames. (The fox and the grapes inspired behaviour?).

Re: MIDI turns 30

Yep, screnshot shows 1985 as release date. I got it later in '92, paying the equivalent amount of almost 40 Euros for interface and software; I remember I had to go to Milan (1250 Km from here) to purchase. I worked some month in a pub (not as a musician) to buy the RY-30. In '85 (probably) the only...

Re: MIDI turns 30

...I remember almost tight timings from that rig (...I'm planning to check some recording) RY-30 sequencer though is 24 ppq only and it doesn't sound very tight by itself to my ears nowadays, especially using layered sounds, if I remember right... Just checked some recordings and... I was wrong. Be...

Re: MIDI turns 30

Unluckily I have no suitable external MIDI clock source ATM. Never had the Atari, my first MIDI sequencer in '92 was C64 based, but... not the Sequential Circuit interface here http://db.tt/mq3whODD Can't post any screnshot since my C64 has gone long time ago (even the 5" floppy looks no longer...

Re: MIDI turns 30

There's something I don't get about the jitter issue. Is it kind of a timeline distortion, I mean the clock signal frequency slightly varying, or midi messages misplaced on the timeline?

Turns out my virus had turned into a secondary sinus infection. Got antibiotics and am now much happier. Bummed that I had to cancel my NAMM trip. Bad timing. :( John Hope you'll get better soon, John. I had something similar in November; I'd been in the need to go out around the same, and the sinu...

@Garyb That's a long way to go here. At now we're still provided with asymmetric DSL; usually, bandwidth for non commercial purpose is (nominally) 7Mb/s download 512Mb/s upload, which (flat) rate is around 40 Euros/month, telephony included. I've got around 320Mb upload and less than 6Mb download as...
