| Tip of the day Hi, my name is Sergio De Felice, and I am a musician. Well, actually I am an engineering student and a hobbyist musician. I like to compose and play music, and sometimes I sell my creations for use as background music. What you see here is my MIDI setup. There is a Fatar master keyboard, a DX7IIFDE!, a Proteus expander, some Roland and Yamaha expanders, a Yamaha digital mixer and some other accessories. Of course I use Atari computers to keep everything working perfectly. There is a Mega 4 STE I use for some SysEx activities and as an editor/librarian, as well as a Falcon running Cubase Audio. Where are these computers, you will ask. You can't see my Mega STE since it is not in this picture, but you can see the Falcon that I have put in a Tower case which drives all my MIDI setup through a MO4 device (providing four additional MIDI OUT ports to my computer). The Falcon MIDI IN port is fed by a MIDI merger, to accept the signals from both the keyboards and the mixer (yes, you guessed it, I don't use the Cubase mixer, but a real motorised MIDI driven mixer). Above is an ariel view of the Falcon, with all that messed cables that plug in almost every port. On the top of the case you can see a Soundpool FA4, plugged in the Falcon DSP port, providing four crystal clear analogue output for Cubase. OK, back to my "roads and bridges" exam. No, wait, I think I will play some music first :-)
