Hi Nigel,

I was using Dr.T�s Keyboard Controlled Sequencer along with X-oR for patch editing. Great package as both programs ran together. Sure it was available for the Atari ST as well.
I�m running with emagic�s Logic and SoundDiver hoping it would be as good as the Amiga integration, it nearly manages it, but not quite as smoothly as the Dr.T�s system.

Music X promised so much, but never delivered. Bars & Pipes was ok (ish) but I didn�t get on with the graphic interface. KCS for me, I still use it for roughing out tracks�.
I believe KCS started life on the C-64 as well, but I�m not 100% sure, so don�t quote me on that.

Amiga was being designed by the team behind the Atari 8 bit micros, Commodore�s CEO Jack Trammel (not sure on the spelling) left Commodore, and bought Atari.
So as you said Commodore bought Lorraine Amiga, no doubt to give Jack a bit of a corporate headache. The ST was knocked up quite quickly, and was a pretty darn good machine, and I did give it a serious look when I was buying my 16-bit machine. The Amiga won, just!
