No, sure, as a kid who was very much in to techno music the Atari ST was much admired for it's MIDI capabilities. Any actual MIDI gear was very much out of the price range for my parents and for anyone I knew. We had a setup in the music room in school with an Atari ST and a digital sampler though, had lots of fun with it.
My 30 year old grudge has more to with the one rich kid in my school who actually owned an Atari ST. It was slightly more expensive than the Amiga, which he loved to point out.
- kstrauser 5y agoI had a $50 MIDI interface box on my Amiga. It would’ve been nice to have it built-in, but it was one of the cheaper things to add.
- progre 5y agoSure, but like I said, actual MIDI controllable gear was not cheap.
- kstrauser 5y agoRight, but doesn’t that apply to using an ST, too? You didn’t get a discount on synths based on which OS you were using.
- rasz 5y agomidi interface was one thing, but what really sold ST as a music computer was 640x400 72Hz 12 inch mono monitor. Sharp picture, no headache inducing interlace.
