OK, let me say this first: I have no idea what I'm talking about. I only have ideas of what I want to accomplish. I want to buy a Roland 1680 and use that for recording tracks from my keyboard. I want to get some sort of computer+sequencing program setup and record only midi data from my keyboard into the sequencing program so that I can record the midi edited results from my keyboard onto the 1680. I have read articles from alot of well known artist(ie. Fatboy Slim, Wagon Christ) who say that they use an Atari 1040 with Cubase setup for midi and it works great. What exact Atari 1040 model and version of Cubase do I need for good midi editing? Does the Atari need and specific add-ons or upgrades? What is your opinion about this old setp and what problems could I be in for if I get it?
