The funniest thing about shows like COMDEX is that a computer manufacturer can
set up $10,000 worth of MIDI synths and sound equipment, and drive it all with
a dinky computer and a MIDI interface, and many people will attribute the great
sound to the dinky computer. At COMDEX, the Atari booth had at least $10,000
of audio gear (six-foot speakers,a Yamaha TR rack mount, (fully loaded with the
equivalent of 8 DX-7s), a separate DX-7, a Juno I think, a drum box, and a
Sleazy 101…) and people were saying "Boy, that ST has really great sound."
Sheesh.
