I had forgotten about Voyetra for example! Ah, the painful memories of yesteryear.

Buchla 200: Analog step sequencing without all that boring repeatability.

PDP/11 and Pod/7. Mono, non-realtime 8-bit Digital FM synthesis for $750,000.

The tough question is:

What's your last sequencer / DAW?

TR-606 and MC-202, a very long time ago. Quickly abandoned for tape and razorblades.
On the PC, started with Audio Mulch in 1999 and haven't stopped since.

Power Tracks Pro, with an M-Audio MIDI interface that would do MTC/SMPTE in and out, and turned my 8-track into a 6-track recorder... I mixed down to a cassette with Dolby C noise reduction, and I thought it was KILLER!

Of course, there was the synthesis class with Bob Moog where we took tones off of an HP generator and recorded them to a 1/4 track deck, then spliced and diced to create musical phrases. Then, and only then, did we get to "graduate" to a modular system.

I forgot about analog hardware. I guess my first analog sequencer was an EML-400 which I still have.

You're a crack up. Where you come up with this stuff? If you were right, I wouldn't have to correct you, now would I?

The Amiga was the direct competition of the Atari ST, which came out in 1985.

History lessons for the children.

Cause im in the know on these type of things thats where i get them from son. here ya are ---->

Origins
Atari had created two released machines in the form of the Atari 2600 console (also known as VCS) and the various Atari 8-bit based home computers. Both of these lines were created around the 6502 CPU and included a number of additional chips assisting this rather basic, but cost-effective CPU in providing graphics and sound. In fact the 8-bit machines had originally intended to be the replacement for the 2600, but they were later "re-purposed" as home computers to cash in on that market segment's much higher selling prices.

As Atari grew and the management was shuffled by Warner (their parent company), the creators of the 2600 and 8-bit machines eventually got fed up and left. A group of them led by Jay Miner formed a small think tank called Amiga in 1982 and set about creating the third generation machine, this time based on the much more powerful 68000 CPU.

During this time, the home computer market started to slow down, and the video game market underwent the great video game crash of 1983. Warner management decided to "get out" and started looking to sell Atari outright. Meanwhile many of the same effects were in the process of decimating Commodore International. An argument involving Commodore's chairman Irving Gould, and Jack Tramiel ensued, resulting in Tramiel's immediate departure from Commodore in January of 1984.

In effect for those who followed the debacle over this issue know that The Amiga was slated tp be the AtariST and the ST was oring slated to be Amiga. but its not a big deal now is it?

I will give you credit cause you had to reference WIKI to stake your claim but WIKI does have the early origins of what happened you have to be more thourgh in your searches next time and stop trying to act like your old and know this stuff ok DevB. stick to the reviwes your slowley getting better at it. heres a link for you Dev go read up http://www.answers.com/topic/atari-st
