1987 Apple Computer Reseller Training Video - Apple MIDI Interface - Second Half

Let's not forget that this is a fascinating video on the very earliest version of Mark Of The Unicorn's (MOTU) Performer! Great program, looked like this through version 3 or something, early 00's I think. Except it was Digital Performer by then. Roland would bundle it with a few of their keyboards along with a beige cable, upto about the mid to late 90's.

Why would she have a TR-505 paired with a DX7 and D-50? Not that the 505 is bad by any means, but if you're going for top-of-the-line with the synths, why not the drum machine?

A D-50! :)

Its so cool to see a D-50 in its day.

Great retro videos.

Worth sitting through just to see the girl rock out @ 4:55 onward.

Totally hilarious! I still play my D-50, it's bright airy sounds are magnificent! The Yamaha DX7 was no slouch either. Those were the days...

@ItaloBen ..Well said! But very funny considering her rocking out is just that..midi can't give the feel and groove of a talented musician playing live.I've always felt that midi was best for composition and other styles of music apart from rock..

This is awesome, but kind of funny too :P

Fantastic gear! The D-50 and the DX7IIFD. Wonderful!  Atari ST was a cheaper alternative to a Mac for MIDI application.
