I thought it kinda worked, but way under performing compared to the 30 yo Atari. I still don’t understand why Intel/AMD based hardware managed to get so popular, it can do a lot, but nothing well enough. I just used midi with 1 module and even then it wasn’t up to spec. Could be the cheap cable.

Interesting, you learn something new every day… never knew it also does something with sound next to midi. (so sorry, never tested autio)

I’m starting over as well, mainly because i"m also clearing out rooms so I can have space for my hobbies. (have to many, music is ‘only’ one of them) At the moment I’m mainly trying to get all instruments tuned and working, while figuring out what I like. The guitars were picked 1st (acoustic, electric and a bass). I notice that my fingers don’t really want to cooperate at the moment. (need more practice ;) )

Biggest advantage here is that I didn’t sell them when I had no more time. Biggest disadvantage is that I need to dig them up.

At the moment no software in use, or at least not yet decides. I still have an Atari STe with Cubase and Logic. I also have Rosegarden on Linux and a cheap USB MIDI interface, as I have a few synths and modules which I want to dust off as well. However, making music (or at least find the time to try to get sound out of instruments instead of noice) is my 1st step.
