I have an very old sequenserprogram (ca 10 y)
called Steinberg Cubase and an Atari computer. What is actual today?
Nowadays I have, of course, an PC (DELL)
on which I write this letter.
(I suppose that everyone on this site
have some form of sequenser-program for MIDI).

hi Kris,
You may be able to 'upgrade' your old Atari version of Steinburg Cubase to the latest current PC version at a reduced upgrade price. http://www.steinberg.net

The Atari computers were great for midi music because they supported excellent timing and built in midi ports as well. Cubase is no longer supported on the Atari platform and Atari has unfortunately long ago stopped manufactering computers .

My very first computer (used for midi music, over years ago) was an Atari 1040. I ran the German software midi sequencing program "Notator SL" on it. Notator has since been replaced by Logic Audio (which I use) on both PC and Mac platforms: http://www.emagic.de
I love Logic Audio (my personal favorite) for its power, flexibility and custom-ability. Another excellent & popular midi and digital audio sequencer on the PC platform is Cakewalk Sonar: http://www.cakewalk.com/

All of these midi/digital audio sequencers should run on your Dell Computer nicely.

I have a DELL Dimension XPS R400 (400 stands for 400 MHz). Should I upgrade this to
run these programs?

I'm running Sonar on a Dell 8100 1.2 ghz with 384 ram...Windows ME o/s.
The sonar runs ok on it, but I had to tweek several things computer wise to make it run smooth and while Sonar is a good program with good editing capabilities...
That being said,I really prefer recording on a Yamaha AW4416 hard disc recorder, no problems fallout or any of the other computer type bug things. I just push the record button and lay down a track.
Of course the editing capabilities aren't as sophisticated as the computer based programs.
