Greetings from Atari user. I've had 1040 STF back in 1996.
Going back to the roots in 2026, thanks to way too many irritating issues with the MIDI in Logic X on a modern Mac.
Cheers!!!

DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

Re: Hello
A bit of M, Ludvig, Presto, and a lot of Cubase.
Speaking of Cubase, I remember a friend who had an STE,the graphics were flying on that thing.
I’m currently looking for a Blitter chip to order from the Exxos store. Hopefully everything goes well, and some long-time dreams come true.
I also have a lot of hardware sequencers. Full gear list is here:

Re: Hello
Wow, dude you have every synth in the world.
You must be competing with Doctor Mix!!
You're clearly a talented guy with a lot of experience (if that's all your info).
It's great to read your bio.
Possibly your friend was running NVDI or Warp9 which were some fast graphical accelerators, that made the UI on his STE fly?

Re: Hello
Just a regular STE. But I swear anything that involved graphics was twice as fast there, than my STF. My conclusion was - it's the blitter chip.viking272 wrote: Tue Jan 06, 2026 11:00 pm Possibly your friend was running NVDI or Warp9 which were some fast graphical accelerators, that made the UI on his STE fly?
