Atari-Midi Archives

Hi!



Can someone tell me how good does Cubase Atari, importing General MIDI 
files?

On Windows, I recognized that Cubase is importing much better than any 
Share- or Freeware!
It sounds more like played, other programs are sounding extremely 
mechanically (probably the importing of controller data seems to be 
difficult).

But as I am not really going to BUY (a must) a Cubase for the PC, this is my 
last outstanding question I would appreciate to know.

Second. Could I use a GM-Device with an Atari Cubase and Play Internet MIDI 
(famous POP ROCK etc..) files as I would have a Windows with a AWE 
Soundcard? MT32, Sound Canvas or so??

Second, it will spare place. So I can replace the PC.



Many Thanks.




Best Regards,

Daniel Mandic


P.S.: This Windows 95B is driving me crazy. What a piece of s...!

Hi Makje!


I had a good deal. For installing a Windows PC, I will get a Cubase 3.5 VST 
(Win95(working now :-)
With DOS, Win3.11 or 95 it is very similar to an ATARI MIDI, but not as 
well.

For all instances I have it, bez I need this GM Stuff. The Soundcard in the 
PC is doing well with Cubase, making half a megabyte, some better, some 
terrible GM Sound. But it cannot harmonize with my synths. Too digital :-) 
(AWE32, Trash. But good for exotic MIDI files as you mentioned, and perfect 
importing with Cubase 3.xx)

My Synthmachines \ufffdget connected to the TT. Midex etc. etc,   dreaming......
