Hi Alex, you're correct, I must get on with another update on Atari sources. Suffice to say that many listed in the 2012 survey are unfortunately now no longer with us. However, it's all happening at the Atari ST Musicians page on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/atarist/" target="...

Alex - need more gear? Everyone knows that you can NEVER have too many synths/samplers/fx/ etc ad nauseam..

Hi again folks, Just a quick update on Keith McHard - he's now gone full time and can be found as Audio City Media here: https://www.facebook.com/RepairsDept/" target="phpbbpopup Keith regularly posts pics of repair work from start to finish with full descriptions of what was wrong and how...

And I'm back again! After nearly six years in store, the entire studio is back in a new premises and it's gradually being re-commissioned. Guess what? The Ataris fired up first time with no problems, although one of my Syquest drives has thrown a wobbly and will need to be replaced - no matter, I ha...

Hi folks, I've recently started using Keith McHard of Stourbridge, who has many years experience with synths, and a large collection of gear that he's familiar with. He's fixed issues that have stumped other repairers of my acquaintance, and most recently revived a Korg 01W that was so mangled that ...

And it's official:

Many thanks Hugh.

Some folks on the Yahoo groups are speculating that this may be the first step in closing down Yahoo altogether?

Glad to be of help. With luck, your Atari system will be okay for another 25 years!

In that case, do you have a spare Atari that you can try out? Barrie at Keychange (www.keychange.co.uk) reckons that Ataris need servicing every so often so at a guess (and it is a guess on my part) you may have a dry joint or similar somewhere that may be upsetting your ST? Hope this helps, Best wi...

Hi folks,
It's been a while....

Just to let you know that there's a new Facebook group for Atarians.
Search in Facebook for Atari ST musicians network

and join 576 others already on there.

Best wishes,

Dave.

Two possibilities: Have you cleaned the SMPTE jack sockets on the Unitor? You'd be amazed at how much grot gets in there even though it's supposed to be a sealed unit. How it gets there is anyone's guess. Secondly, check out the contacts in the cartridge port. Even though they may be sparkling clean...

Hi folks, I've been rather quiet over the last three years, as my studio and Ataris have all been boxed up and have been sitting in the garage. A VERY nasty divorce and financial settlement (still to be resolved) has meant that I haven't had any premises to get it all set up again. :( However, when ...

You could have a look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoSvtJGI7lk which is a production by Richard Burn, currently doing a PhD at Brum City Uni in visual representation of music. I believe that there may be a more in depth version on BCU's own website: http://www.bcu.ac.uk/news-events/news/...

. There is no doubt there is value in hardware though - but only really in the older vintage stuff, or the modern cool stuff - that big chunk in the middle, the early digital period, the hardware is mostly worthless and modern software does almost everything substantially better in all regards... H...

Hi folks, fascinating stuff here, particularly for me as I'm still a die hard Atari fan. Currently my entire studio is boxed up in the garage, as I'm going through a messy divorce and when things are sorted out I'll still be using my hardware setup rather than going all current and softsynthy. Now w...

Hi folks, here's another essential site for all Atarians: the Atari-forum WIKI: http://www.atari-forum.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page Look under the Applications section for essential stuff: copiers, antivirus progs, HD drivers galore and CD-ROM drivers. Most of them are free! :bouncy: Enjoy! Be...

Atari in 2012. Hi folks, It’s been a while since I last looked through the Atari scene, and as I found that quite a few of the sites mentioned previously have gone to the great website in the sky, I thought it might be a suitable time to update this FAQ with the current state of the Atari scene in 2...

Hi folks, it's been a while, I know, but things are still humming along in Notator land! :) What we've found over recent years is that there's a fledgling file in Notator that was designed to be developed for later Audio Recording. As we know, once Notator 'transformed' into Logic then the whole thi...
