Hi Rob, Thanks for the quick reply. I have the keyboard going into the in of the midiman box with the serial in/out through modem and printer of the mac, then output of the midiman into the roland sound canvas. I have sound coming and can see the flashing lights for input and output of the...

Hi I’m Neal, ?new to the forum and to music reproduction. I’ve always had a hankering to have a play though and see what tracks i could make with some practice. I am quite nostalgic for the 1980/90s though attempting to setup a vintage setup. 1989 Macintosh with cubase, a midi Roland sound...

Equipment:- 1989 Macintosh SE/30 Cubase lite 1.0 Midiman serial to midi interface box Roland SC88vl general midi sound canvas module Roland ED-PC300 keyboard controller Hi all, I’ve had a hankering for sometime to setup my 33 year old apple macintosh SE/30 as a vintage recording studio using...

I’m keeping an eye on eBay at the moment for the gear i want. Software wise I’ll likely download everything people suggested and try then one by one and pick my favourite 3-4. All the old software is free so easy enough to try :)

Hi Cyrano Thanks for the info, i do actually have several old macs including a 2010 mac mini, a 2001 transparent/grey imac, 1994 powerbook, 1996 PowerPc and my beloved 1990 SE/30 so it is possible to have a play around on the newer machines as well and I probably will do but my main goal is to...

Thanks James thats really useful as well, i think cubase will work but i agree with trying some mac only programs, im lucky enough to have an external hhd for my old mac so i can have 5-6 different programs to try. The advantages of buying this old stuff is being able to spec it out beyond what...

Thanks Rory, thats really insightful. Yes i agree to keep period my old macintosh SE/30 is cicra 1990 so gear from early 1990 would be the stuff people actually used. I am looking for general midi standards so roland sound canvas or yamaha/korg but likely the roland i like the look it seems more...

Hi Peeps, Hello from Newbie. New on here although already posted some questions. Just saying hi �� Neal (AKA Pip) I’m from the Uk, no music skills but interested in 1980-1990 home studio kit linked to vintage computers, why well just for kicks

Ah cheers gecko and btyre just seen your messages. Yes i have a midi hub for the old macintosh, a random ebay find i offered £10 for, i’ll just need a few din cables, some drivers, a module and a keyboard and possibly a drum machine. Good advise i have a really small room and cant play a...

Thanks Dave thata useful info. i have been reading these older modules can be a pig to setup right but i thought it would be a bit of fun trying and seeing what happens. No plans for any mega bins as such as this is for my really small office/ man cave so an active 2.1 computer speaker set up...

You are completely right of course and i do have an ipad, iphone and modern computer so could do much more a lot easier but the retro computer thing is my hobby, gee’s i even do desktop publishing on my black and white 1989 macintosh for fun so this is just something else I’d like to do on it...

Hi all, Bear with me on this. I’m a vintage apple macintosh hobbist but also nostalgic for all things late 80s early 90s. Long story short I’d always wanted a studio even though i have no musical talent what-so-ever and the time has come I’d like to combine my fascination with 90s studio...
