You can define a section of music with two loop points and play it by clicking on the Cue button.Įach Track can be given a ten-character instrument name, an eight-character Track name and there's room for a further 28 characters in the comments line. A clock shows the time elapsed but, oddly, this is reset each time around the loop. If you make a mistake, the X-Rec button stops recording, resets the sequencer and lets you have another hack at the Track in question. Like most Dr T's sequencers, after recording a Track the program moves on automatically to the next Track so you can plough through a recording with the minimum of clicking.

The Recorder screen has familiar tape transport controls plus a variety of other icons whose purpose will be revealed presently.īEFORE RECORDING, YOU must set the length of the song in bars (although this can be altered later). There are two main screens - the Tape Recorder screen and the Graphic Editing screen. It defaults to 240 which seems pretty sensible. What's even more intriguing is the fact that you can alter this - should you want to - down to as low as 24. It has a maximum resolution of 384ppqn (pulses per quarter note) which is very high for a budget program.
And you shouldn't be too surprised to discover that certain aspects of the program have their roots in other Dr T's programs such as KCS (Keyboard Controlled Sequencer) and MRS (MIDI Recording Studio).Ĭub will run in mono or colour (the colour display shows fewer octaves on the Edit screen) but you need 1Meg of RAM. Cub (review v1.0) is based on Dr T's Tiger, has 12 tracks, and its operation centres around tape recorder-style controls. That's got your ears standing to attention, hasn't it?īUT LET'S BEGIN at the beginning. Not only is it one of Dr T's new generation of programs - which use GEM instead of unfriendly numeric displays - but it's also the cheapest ST sequencer with notation facilities currently available. Well, Tiger Cub is worth sitting up for and taking notice of.

Have to stick with WinXP too, eMagic's last drivers for the AMT/Unitor are technically Win2000/NT/98 drivers, and won't work in anything past Win7 (and only the 32bit version).IF YOU FOLLOW developments in the software sequencer market, you'll probably be rather blasé about another ST sequencer (software writers must be an optimistic lot, don't you think?).

I still have a G3, 2 G4s, a G5, and even the first Mac Pro (and an old P3) along with this one, but the thought of having to set one of those up (and try to remember how to configure OMS) is not a happy one.
#ATARI TUNESMITH LIKE PROGRAM ISO#
I managed to find an actual 1:1 iso copy and just tell VirtualBox to use the iso file in its virtual cd drive and bam, SD is working again! The retail cd for whatever reason won't mount the Windows part of the disc (its the old 'hybrid' cd-rom), so when you let the virtual machine mount it, it ONLY has the Mac side available and it won't authorize for some reason. I just have to use an iso copy of Sound Diver I had to download to authorize it when it needs too. Under WinXP in Virtual Box, the Mac passes through my old Emagic AMT8 and it works perfectly. The widely available one, as well as the one I bottled myself, both freeze up about 1/2 way through the first bank. I can do everything possible, except download my banks from the Modular to the Mac.
The Winebottled Nord Editor doesn't work for me. Minus all the one off plugins that have disappeared along the way (I still open old Logic projects from time to time that ask me for Absynth 2-4 hah), Im also one of the Sound Diver and Nord G1 folks. Virtual machines have finally taken care of that for me.
