Here is a musical moment to share with my friend @NiveusLepus, here is an instrumental synth cover of the Depeche Mode song “The Things You Said”. It has been made with a Clavia Nord Modular G1 synth connected through a MIDI port to an Atari ST computer and triggered by Cubase 4.1
@elleci42a Tagging @elmaxx This has a very chill cyberpunk vibe! It's worthy of the Adeptus Mechanicus!
@NiveusLepus You're welcome! What's amazing is that the Atari ST computer was firstly released in 1985: the presence of two MIDI ports and a low latency elaborating the MIDI events made the Atari ST an established music production gear
@NiveusLepus I need to correct myself, it was Cubase 3.1 (I reiterated that mistake many times SMH 🥴)
@elleci42a Alot of those old Midi processors and synth chips are legendary for their unique sound. I know commodore sound chips are dearly valued, as are sound chips from the Eastern Bloc, which is part of the Sovietwave genre.
My favorite sovietwave song:

@NiveusLepus The sound chip of the Atari ST was a Yamaha YM2149, a rebranded and slightly modified version of the General Instrument AY-3-8910
@elleci42a Your level of technical knowledge is absolutely incredible.
@NiveusLepus TBF I wasn't even born when the Atari ST was firstly released (in 1985 my parents were married since just one year) so I documented myself
@elleci42a I was born in 81, so I was a wee tyke back then.
@elleci42a Thank you groovy soul!
