| Ray Lynch Mac setup from 1991 | |
| Posted by: corbinq27 on 2024-05-23 18:20:07 stumbled upon this video of Ray Lynch working on some music and he's using a Mac prominently in his setup. Any idea what software and Mac he's using? would love to know more about it: | |
| Posted by: mg.man on 2024-05-24 01:43:02 Judging by the keyboard, I'd guess a Macintosh Plus. No idea on the s/w, but here's a screenshot in case it helps someone identify :  | |
| Posted by: thecloud on 2024-05-25 00:07:46 The software is Mark of the Unicorn's Performer. 
They created their own custom window definitions for a funky postmodern look. You can see the "stairstep" feature that cuts through the title bar just to the left of each window's title. | |
| Posted by: cheesestraws on 2024-05-25 01:34:08 that is a rather fun look indeed! | |
| Posted by: thecloud on 2024-05-26 14:28:18 It looks like he is running Performer 3.1 rather than the 3.5 version shown in the magazine article, since the Skip buttons in the main control panel were new to 3.5. This is what 3.1 looks like in Mini vMac. (Since it's a MIDI sequencer, there is no sound output to the Mac itself, only serial output to a MIDI interface. I recall someone had made a variant of Mini vMac a few years ago called "MIDI vMac" which could interface to MIDI devices... anyone have experience with that?)  | |

| Posted by: thecloud on 2024-05-27 20:03:42 That depends. The history of Jasmine with Rodime drives is not great. I had a 20MB Jasmine drive that didn't last all that long. Jasmine itself didn't survive into the '90s. There is a sad coda to Ray Lynch's story. Apparently his home and studio burned down in 2015 and he lost all his equipment, master tapes, etc. He was only was able to save a few things before fleeing the fire. Ray Lynch - Wikipedia
