Atari 1040 ste cubase 3 code#

(Hence that legendary time-keeping.) There were a lot of вЂfirstsвЂ™ made possible with the combinationвЂ“ the DMA based ACSI port had enough bandwidth for direct digital recording (the ADAP sound rack), the cartridge port was comandeered to allow multiple MIDI ports, SMPTE code readers, etc. There was no multitasking (and little system overhead for video, disk transfers, etc.) so the program that was running had absolute control over data transfer to/from the MIDI ports. While there certainly were earlier MIDI implementations (the ST came out in mid-1985) the ST combined the 68000 CPU, built in MIDI ports (I think the Yamaha CX5M was the only other at the time, and it was basically just an MSX machine), a вЂcartridgeвЂ™ port (useful for expansion), and a DMA driven hard disk interface that gave high sustained transfer speeds, plus a faster CPU (8MHz), good RAM (1Mbyte standard on the 1040ST) and high resolution (640Г—400/72Hz monochrome) display. DRI (not Atari) was in a lawsuit over the вЂњlook and feelвЂќ of GEMвЂ“ the PC version of GEM had to change, not AtariвЂ™s.
