Ahhh... olden days! I used to have a portastudio and did FSK sync through my Roland MPU-401 with my IBM PC/XT clone running DOS 1.0 I think. Sequencer was Cakewalk 1.0. It was in my pre-Mac days. I eventually saw the error of my ways and bought a Mac SE.

Wow! I had an old Fostex X-30, an Apple IIgs with MasterTracks Pro, a TR-606 and an alphaJuno 1...all with the Apple MIDI interface (ADB connection I believe). I'd sequence the TR-606 & alphaJuno parts in MTP and then lay that down on a single track on the Fostex. Record 2 more...bounce. Then continue recording/bouncing until I had what I needed.

I loved that machine. It died about a year ago...and I've been scouring the 'net for someone selling one. I still have dozens of tapes filled with recordings I never transferred to digital.

Boy did this thread bring back some memories. I think I may go unbox my old blackface ADAT and Mackie CR-1604.
