What MIDI enhancements are there for the Atari?
This section by Andreas Magenheimer and Mathy van Nisselroy. Midi is standard on the Atari ST computers, because it is built-in into these computers. Nevertheless, Midi was long before the arrival of the ST computers on the market and thus, it is no surprise that there are even midi-interfaces and enhancements for the classic 8Bit Ataris. The following “types” do exist: – “Midi-Mate” and “Midi-Track” by Hybrid Arts (USA), comes with hardware + software, see reviews & tests in Antic, Analog and other magazines. MidiTrack requires 48k RAM, MidiTrack II 64k RAM and MidiTrack III 128k RAM (XE compatible, not Axlon compatible). MidiMate features MIDI IN+OUT and SYNC IN+OUT ports, but lacks a second SIO plug. MMS (MIDI Music System) is a MIDI version of AMS, also sold by Hybrid Arts and comes with AMS to MMS converter software… – “MIDI Master” by 2-Bit Software (UK), comes with hardware+software. Features MIDI IN+OUT ports, an extra SIO plug, but no SYNC ports. See also reviews and ads in
