  • E.P.S.S. (Enhanced Polyphonic Sample Synthesizer) working as a plugin to Cubase 3 on Atari STe.
    E.P.S.S. is a bit like VST, but arrived already in 1990 in the Atari demo scene. It plays eight channels at 25 kHz mixing (and on the Mega STe, 16 channels). The sound driver and patch file is controlled with E.P.S.S. Accessory running in parallel with Cubase. Cubase have an MROS driver to use for talking with the E.P.S.S. Accessory.
    All this in 1990! Years ahead of anything like it.
    You could also use the Cubase score in your own productions using the E.P.S.S. sound driver and MIDI file player. It doesn't use more CPU than your normal Protracker MOD-file player, and runs completely off VBL for minimum hassle.

    Hey , these are my songs :) i don't even remember all those mixes , this was very funny to hear.
    All songs was recorded with samples from my beloved Roland S-50. The story behind this is wonderful indeed.
    Cheers all

    Wow... 3 decades later and it's so heartwarming to see that structurally speaking Cubase didn't change that much from a visual perspective. Functionally speaking though, completely different story! Great video!

    It's not a synthesizer, the authors call it a "sample synthesizer" which simply means that the instruments are samples and not waveforms (although the sample could be a pre-generated waveform of course). All sound is coming from E.P.S.S. on the Atari STe.

    I've checked some new synth workstations and many of them dropped the Track view and the Pianoroll view, which are the most useful aspects when composing, not a stupid Pattern view. Only the new Roland Phantom 6 did re-implement these views, but no Yamaha. They had this on their QY 700 sequencer but not on the Motif XS and Montage. It seems so stupid that they stopped using these special views on synths...the Akai MPC One rediscovered the Pianoroll view but not the Track view, that was a dealbreaker for me, "hate" the Pattern layout on the new synths.

    One more question: I used to use Notator on my 1040ste and really miss using it for sequencing. Steem engine has the ability to overcome the Notator dongle security, however after testing it myself, I found that the sequencer crashes continuously. (see this video: watch?v=S01aXLPy47s) Can the Hatari emulator run Notator without issues on Linux and Windows?

    I want a version of cubase like this for windows 10. No bloatware no audio , just good old midi only sequencing.Cubase was better back then for midi only sequencing. I have used cubase since ataris. I think its shitter and slower to use now than it was back then. Steinberg do not answer questions as regards fetching out a midi only version.

    Can anyone help me I have a very very old cuebase on my old Atari ste and I have several songs (projects) which I want to retrieve from the machine and put them onto my new Cubase 9 s/w
    I have been writing on Cubase 4 for ages but the studio pc died, I have plenty of Cubase project folders on the hard drive of the studio pc that died which I'm sure I can easily transfer to Cubase 9,
    but its my very old early stuff on my old Atari ste that I would love to translate into readable files for my new Cubase 9
    (I should have done this years ago onto Cubase 4 before my PC died but never got round to it)... Is this at all possible, any help would be much appetited, cheers Kev

    • @EgoShredder
      @EgoShredder Рік тому

      You need to import and export a few times using different versions of Cubase. So I think VST 5.1 can import the Atari song files, and then you can export that and import into SX, and from SX into the next version of Cubase on the PC etc. Eventually you will get it into v9.
