Hybrid Arts FTW!

The world really owes a little to Robert Moore and his amazing MIDIMATE interface for Atari 8-bits. This just happened to be the first sequencer I ever laid eyes on (with the Yamaha CX5M coming in a close second). It kicked major ass and I could only dream of owning everything in the magazine ad.

Robert makes a few lofty claims, and I really have no reason to doubt him:


First MIDI software/hardware company
First synth editor (Prophet 600, 1983)
First Pro Digital recorder/editor for computers
First computer SMPTE synchronizer
First MIDI telecom service/client (MidiCom)

My hats off to Mr. Moore: A true vintage MIDI pimp.
