Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

then you realize you can't run any current-day plugins and it's gonna suck because the last tdm and rtas stuff by now is 20 years old and whatever dongle you had can't call home anymore to check if the license is legit

so congrats on a big harddisk recorder i guess

but yeah in a "let's see if i can get this pdp-11 working" that'd be interesting to document

there are workarounds for that

and why would you need current-day plug-ins when you have TDM?

I got an EMagic AMT8 on eBay and it turns out Apple still provides a current driver and Logic still supports it

so now I have an 8-in, 8-out MIDI interface that I can use with literally any Mac from the original Mac 128 to the latest M2-based Mac

also when it comes to rock & roll there’s almost an honor in having used gear, your Aotearoa dollars will go much further if you find something using your local equivalent of Craigslist and it might have a cool story or two in its history

now that I’m retired my wife and I have been working on the music setup

we’ve had the Roland RD-700NX piano and some MD-8 monitors set up for years, now I have a cheap Behringer mixer between them so I can add More

now we have:
  • Alesis SR-16 drum machine
  • Yamaha VL70-m wind synthesizer, connected to
  • Yamaha WX-5 electric clarinet wind controller

and we’ll eventually my old i9 MacBook Pro 16in with an eMagic AMT-8 for MIDI—Apple actually still supports it in Logic!

(my understanding is that Apple could also make and sell new Atari Falcon 030 hardware if they wanted to, since eMagic got a license to do so back in the day…)

we need to do something for string input though, between my wife’s ukes, guitars, and lute, and my guitars, right now we only have a Yamaha AG06 MkII and a couple M-Audio M-Track Duo and she uses the AG06 as part of running games with virtual tabletop

we also have a few other things to throw in, my OP-1 and OP-Z and her new EP-1320 Medieval which is such a fun shitpost of an instrument
