awesome thanks pewe , i got a good many of these my
self ,
and if i wasn't learning how to program the darn
atari i would
probally own a few more these..
i am in admists of writing a few of my own
programs ; but alot of the handshaking and some language barriers are
preventing my full scope of interfacing with the midi protocol.....loads of time
invested.
so if any body have cd with kinda same stuff
i will mention .
i do not have the following
titles :
sound surfer
sound diver
polyframe
icconix
gramd slam
logic
more........but i cannot think of them at the
moment.

Some details:
Soundsurfer is a preset-, bankmanger only,- a librarian.
Sounddiver includes Soundsurfer and is a preset-, bankmanger, librarian as also a preset-, patch-editor
Polyframe 1.0 / 1.2 for the Atari is the ancestor of Sounddiver ( not Soundsurfer) and is a modular librarian and editor too.
Polyframe comes w/ less modules/adaptions but includes a generic adaption offering the possibility to create your own modules/adaptions for your outboard midi devices which aren´t included as adaptions in Polyframe.
IMO it´s not worth to do a search for Soundsurfer.
What you need, Polyframe and/or Sounddiver, depends on which outboard midi devices you own.
I own both the programs and Sounddiver runs best w/ Mac OS9.x on a Mac PPC or maybe a G3.
Polyframe for Atari needs a Atari ST or STe w/ 4meg of RAM and a harddrive.
Polyframe covers my:
Roland D550
Korg M1r /M1r ex
Korg Wavestation
Oberheim Matrix 1000
Yamaha DX7 / DX7mkII FD / TX modules
Yamaha SY/TG 77
Yamaha TG 500
... and a bunch of other devices like some AKAI MB modules, Lexicon LXPs and such ...
The adaptions for the modules mentioned above were included in version 1.2 of Polyframe, I never did my own adaptions.
You can create a large library for all the different modules presets/patches included in this ONE library or you can create separate libraries for the dedicated modules. Some adaptions are very good, some less ...,- there are some w/ "quick edit" and/or "in depth edit" functionality.
It´s worth to have Polyframe for the Atari IMO.
You´ll run into incompatibilities of programs and hardware modules w/ both the programs, Polyframe and Sounddiver.
Sounddiver w/ Mac OSX is a halfass solution because some functionality is lost w/ OSX.
Some of the Steinberg Synthworks programs do a much better job than Polyframe and Sounddiver ever did, but you need a separate Sythworks program for each synth/tonegenerator then and as far as these were available ever.
Best is to have a mix of all these programs or decide to move to todays solutions for PC/Mac ...

But also this can be a nitemare,- like all the software thingys... :-)
And it´s not cheap anyway.
