- cmrdporcupine 4y agoYeah, was the combination of: built-in MIDI ports, low price, high quality paper white monochrome monitor, mac-like GUI, tight low latency timing (single tasking OS until the early 90s -- straight from the interrupt to the subroutine do not pass go). Cubase and Logic both had their origin there and are still around. Myself, my mom and dad wouldn't spring for synthesizers for me, despite my mom being a music teacher. So I collect them (and Ataris) now but they just collect dust :-)
