Re: "Old School MIDI Bragging Contests"
Wow! That is a relic!! I'm ready to sell my K2500R, though (have to fix the battery connection, first).
My K2661 is still going strong. Great piece of kit, as they say across the pond.

Re: "Old School MIDI Bragging Contests"
Hmm . . . and here I was thinking I'm the only person that used Dr. T's before "settling" on Performer. I even remember calling support for Dr. T's and the owner/programmer actually took the call and helped me out. Now THAT was a great program back in the day!

...but did you run a rig with DUAL Commodore 64s—one running Syntech Sequencer and the other running Syntech's patch librarian for my MemoryMoog and DX7?

Re: "Old School MIDI Bragging Contests"
My first rig with MIDI was an all Yamaha combination of a DX7, TX7, RX7 and QX7. No computer. The QX7 sequencer was two tracks (one to record into and one merged track for parts that were finished). It stored songs to data tape!
I later moved up to an Atari with Dr. T’s KCS with Tiger (The Integrated Graphic EditoR) and the SMPTE sync hardware. The piano roll view and nesting of sequences was really pretty cool!
My pre-MIDI rig was a Rhodes and a borrowed MiniMoog.

Re: "Old School MIDI Bragging Contests"
I don't even remember the name of the software I used before Performer.
Its was basically just a multi track arpeggiator we use to sync to tape via a Jambox.
Now that I look the Jambox 4 and a Roland MT32 are still in the bottom of a rack here.
I guess I have a vintage section.

Re: "Old School MIDI Bragging Contests"
Here's a small shoutout to the "old school" sequencer ("song mode") in the Kurzweil K2000/K2500/K2600/K2661. Surprisingly good/interesting feature-set, including reference quantizing (quantizing one track to the timing of another track), and being able to trigger entire sequences by playing keys where the volume levels of the tracks were scaled to velocity, etc. etc. I made some fun lil ditties in that world.

Re: "Old School MIDI Bragging Contests"
I forgot about that. You could get the sequence for “On The Run” (Pink Floyd) and load it into the K2000. Apparently someone sequenced it for the K2000 as a master’s thesis. It was excellent. Still have it somewhere.stubbsonic wrote: ↑Mon Aug 22, 2022 9:56 am Here's a small shoutout to the "old school" sequencer ("song mode") in the Kurzweil K2000/K2500/K2600/K2661.
There are a bunch of them around now, e.g.

but I can’t find the original attempt anywhere online.

Re: "Old School MIDI Bragging Contests"
Well, I'm a Johnny-come-lately. After I got tired of tin cans and string…
My intro to MIDI was Opcode Music Shop on a Mac Plus. I had originally bought Deluxe Music Construction Set (DMCS) for notation and had found a hack that let me run it over System 6 & 7 which, of course, couldn't be done Music Shop could open DMCS files plus my scores printed better on the ImageWriter II I had at the time.
Eventually, Encore could open Music Shop so I still have all that early work. Don Williams tells me that Encore 6 will be able to open my earliest Encore files (Encore 5.0.5 can't) but I've not seen a copy yet—I need to call him.
