Hi from France

[allste]

Hello everyone,

I'm from France and I'm currently setting up a retro music production studio using my old machines.

My current setup:

Atari STf: Bought at a yard sale 30 years ago, still in full working order.

Amiga 1200: Bought brand new back in the day. It has turned completely yellow over time, but it works perfectly (no battery leaks, no rust, though a recap is on my to-do list).

My short-term goal for the STf is to upgrade it to 4 MB of RAM and TOS 1.04 using an Exxos kit if possible. As for the Amiga, my long-term project is to upgrade it with a PiStorm. Down the line, I'd also love to find an STe.

I also plan to build custom external power supplies for both machines using 3D printing — a great excuse to get my Ender 3 out of storage and back to work!

The overall setup will be the ST for Cubase and the Amiga for sampling. I'm keen to dive into MIDI sequencing since I have a Yamaha synth and two Korg modules ready to be hooked up!

See Ya

Welcome to the forum!

Always good to have another member with an interest in using these old machines for music.

Welcome @allste

You know, you can use just the ST for (8/16bit) sample playback as well as sequencing too by using Breakthru2 and a Relay cart?

Anyway, please tell us synth geeks what the Korg(s) and Yam synths are please.
