Emax

The Steinberg Emax editor for the Atari was very good because it was specifically designed for it. Like the Steinberg Avalon it required a dongle (copy protection) in the side of the Atari.
But, like the numerous pirate Cubase versions, Avalon did become freely available and was a lot more powerful, timestretching etc.

For the PC, why don't you try Wavelab or another that has a generic SDS (Sample Dump Standard) Midi interface for instance ?

  i succesfully found a working disk for EMX now. In fact i had a bunch
  of mitsubishi DD Disks that didn´t do the job. 

  Could you tell me more about those editors for ATARI? Well i just
  downloaded a very good AtariEmulator for PC, that works very good with
  midi also. So some nice Software for the EMAX(1) would be very nice
  for me. Also i found a info at Emulatorarchive website that these
  SOUND DESIGNER was also available for Atari.. maybe i have a chance to
  use this software within the AtariEmulator now ?

  thanx
  phono
