I've noticed that some of you netters have an Atari 520ST that comes with the built-in MIDI interface. I saw the ST last night for the first time (I liked the graphics). I'd appreciate it if you could post or send me some info on it's capabilities. Also, if you know of any reviews/articles on the MIDI capabilities of the ST, please point me in the right direction. What MIDI software does the ST come with? Is there any software for the ST (Atari or outside vendor) for archiving synthesizer voices (particularly for the DX-7)? Is there any synthesizer sequencing sofware for the ST? Where can I get an ST and for how much? (I'm in the New York- Metro area). TNX in advance, Fritter WB2SPU -- And you may say to yourself What is this place And you may say to yourself How did I get here And you may say to yourself My God, What have I done

Dear Mr. Fritter;
So far, there is only Public domain software which uses the MIDI port.
It plays back a few songs which are on a pre-stored file, and provides
a simple graphics display that shows what notes are being played. There
is no capability to modify the notes, or to change the tempo, or to
record your own stuff. I think this package (MIDIDEMO) came from ATARI.
You should be seeing some good stuff within a month or two. In fact, I'm
writing something myself that will be roughly equivalent to what is
available for the C-64 or Apple line of computers.
