Akai S1000 and Atari ST Cubase 3.1 loading up.

THERE IS NOTHING EXCITING HERE!

I often have a play on my old S1000 and ST. It amazes me how long we all used to wait till things loaded up.

I thought Id video everything from putting the disks in to a point where your loaded up and ready to go with your last tune and relevant samples.

Maybes someone will find some nostalgia.
As said this video isn't meant to be exciting. Just a reminder of how things have improved over the years.

The early 90s, when the S1000 and an ST with a handful of roland was the definite set up. Ah, happy days, how simple life was then.....

@Esaelectronics

Hi there, never heard of Millennium before. I think no matter what you use it depends on the human behind it.

Im a real old skool freak (1988-93 electronic dance music) Some of the tunes from back then are still far better than what I could make even now.

Incidentally I am currently toying with an MPC60.

It's not "Atari Cubase" but "Steinberg Cubase". Cubase has neither been developed nor sold by Atary, but rather by the German, Hamburg-based company Steinberg (which still does today). But, great video! Love to see that old vintage stuff. I own an Atari 1040STF myself and it still works (or, again works as I repaired it some time ago after a floppy drive failure). I have some vids of it in my channel, you may want to have a look at it. Best regards!

@fabianswebworld

Owning the originals I never thought for a minute it was atari cubase? Dont think anyone else did either.

There is a whole generation below us who have never heard of an Atari and as such if you say cubase or Steinberg cubase they just think PC.

Not sure where anyone refers to it as Atari cubase but if they did its more likely an abbreviation. I mean who can be bothered to say Atari Steinberg Cubase when its not necessary.

Similar to saying Cubase Mac or Cubase PC.

Anybody remember Pro 12?

@ElasticMinds

Aye, unlike today where instead of some of the gear being crap most of it is :-]

[ElasticMinds]

@AntBenskin some of it was shit, but there was alot of good gear that was made then that still beats the crap out of anything new to date. If only my soft samplers sounded near as good as what i can do with an S1000

@AGWhiteman I agree, an SD card would make this a rather complete machine

[fabianswebworld]

@kolakube123 Oh okay, then it seems I just got the wrong idea of what you meant by having those titles inside the video read "Atari Cubase" several times. All the best,

Fabian

@AGWhiteman

Hi mate. Yeah I know re hard drives and SD cards etc. JUst never get around to doing anything about it.

Yeah the cubase ST sequencer on the Atari is much unchanged in todays cutting edge DAWs as far as sequencing goes.

lol- back in 90 this set up (ST and Akai) would have cost £3-4000 second hand.
