...makes for a very strange reunion of tech!
In my video (which I filmed after a succesful connection of MIDI IN and MIDI OUT of all this gear together as a test), it's not extremely clear, but I'm layering the default percussion instrument over a playthrough of Canyon.mid, played with Cubase. Canyon.mid is well known in vintage PC circles since it came with Windows 95 or 98, I forgot which. You usually found that file when you were installing/reinstalling Windows and wanted a quick way to test your sound card without needing to put a game in there. Everybody using Windows in the 90's is thus familiar with it.
A medium range goal of mine - make some midi tunes with my Roland units. I never used those tools back in the day so I'm not sure if the learning pains are worth it in Cubase, or if I should search for another piece of software. I'd like to build the layers with a sequencer of course, I don't have enough musical chops to do it purely with musical notation.
