Well, I never ran MIDI on Atari, but I certainly wish I had. Now I can! Thanks to Jack, I found STEam.

I hope I can figure out how to get it attached to my AMT8 so I can actually do stuff with it...

STeam is neat, it was my first Atari ST experience before I bought my Falcon and Mega. It will probably not give you optimum timing since it is "virtualized" but with it you can try some of the amazing MIDI software out there. IMO Atari platform has the best MIDI sequencing and composition apps. The rest of the world is just starting to catch up with the features. Of course audio is primitive in Atari-land, and so far as I know big multi-channel MIDI setups are limited to the big guns such as Cubase and Logic. But for MIDI it is the ultimate. My fave is Dr.T's KCS/Omega system with the various MPE addons - real desert-island stuff.

As for STeam MIDI output, as I recall there is a menu somewhere to enable MIDI. On my setup I use an old PIII workstation with Win98se and a Seasound Solo PCI interface for audio and MIDI. This box I use for old, old Windoze apps. It works great, but MIDI is only 1in, 1 out. I have an AMT8 also but not used it with this setup. If you have proper drivers, then so far as I know any MIDI application should see them. I don't know if you will get multiple MIDI i/o.

There is a menu for setting your MIDI port. There are no options for USB, but there is an "other" option and I'm hoping I can make that work by pointing to /dev/bus/usb and such. Initial attempt: no luck, but I'll see if I can contact someone who might know about this.

My AMT8 also has serial ports. These would work just as well since the Atari emu won't be using any special high-speed transmission.

I have to check the back of my computer to see if the mobo has a serial port, and if so, I'll see if that works.
