Years back I created some really great music on my old Atari ST using C-Lab which then became E-Magic's Notator/Creator Sequencing Software. I can't say it was the best on the market but I never found any sequencing software that equaled it. Anyway, the HUGE problem with this software was, it was formatted for the Atari only (Huge Mistake) but at one time, Atari Computers were touted as the best for digital - midi music. Heavy weights like Chick Corea, Moody Blues and The Fixx toured with Atari computers. However as some know, Atari fell in the toilet and stopped supporting their products cold turkey.

I kinda saw it coming so I bought a couple of machines that still work actually. However it was time for me to move over to the PC .. actually I wish I had bought a Mac instead but I thought I could kill two birds with one stone by getting a PC and using for my everyday stuff as well.

So now I own Cubase SX3 and have a great setup but I still have all this great music on Atari floppys and I'd like to move them over if possible.

Does anyone know of any product that will read these floppys on my PC where I can once again separate them on different Tracks?

Thanks

Another Q - Is it possible for me to run midi into the associated instrument while playing the Atari and running midi out of that into my PC onto a Cubase Track and recording that individually?
 
You can run an atari emulator and use that software on your PC if you want. Look for something called "steem".

Here is a good site for emulators that will read ST disks:

You could also slave notator and just record the midi into cubase
