Mike Oliver Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Members 0 3 posts Report post Posted 22 hours ago In the 1980s, I decided I wanted to produce a sort of "backing tape" to handle such things as guitars strumming, violins playing, flutes piping, etc. that I could switch on and play my Technics KN600 keyboard to. You see the kind of thing in many high streets and London underground stations. I had an Atari ST computer and saw a piece of software on a magazine cover called "Gajits Breakthru' Midi Sequencing software". I bought the mag, tried the disk and eventually bought the full Breakthru' programme. I used the setup with, eventually, total success and was very happy. A couple of years back, my Atari ST ceased working and I thought I'd have to obtain a copy of Breakthru' that worked on Windows. Think again. It doesn't exist. So, I attempted using an Atari Emulator route and fell foul of the usual problem with tech-heavy activities. I just couldn't understand how to get the Breakthru' software to load into the emulator (STEEM SSE) from the floppy disk supplied with the Breakthru' package. It didn't seem to recognise the Breakthru' floppy disk and the "manual" didn't give me a clue how to sort it all out. It's probably me with my technical knowledge rooted in the 1980s and my brain in the 1960s . I was originally encouraged by the idea of the emulator but I just can't understand what I am supposed to be doing. Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
