I have two BitHeadz soft synths (Retro AS-1 and Unity DS-1) on my old OS8 G3. BitHeadz is sadly no longer in business and so I've gotten used to the idea of never using these synths again. Recently, however, I fired up the old Mac to check some old equipment out. While I had it on, I played with the AS-1 and realized how much I enjoyed this synth. So, it got me thinking - is there a way to wire the old Mac into my MIDI set up such that it could be addressed as just another MIDI instrument. The old Mac uses OMS of course. Any thoughts? Any other ideas about how to access these instruments?

I've considered sampling my favorite AS-1 sounds but that's just too much work. I could also record tracks into DP as audio, export the audio files and load into DP on my new Mac. Also seems like too much work. Or I give up and find something equivalent that's compatible - suggestions on that?

Thanks for any advice.

yes there is many ways to do this
one way is to setup your midi on your old mac just has so it could take midi in( there are lots of cheap cards out there) and send amidi cable from your new computer setup has midi out from your program your are using using a keyboard or justing playing a sequence if it is setup good you should get some sound
The next thing is A few years back i software that can controlls all your softsynth from different computers from your main computer
But i don't remember who makes it you may need to search around
you may find.
or you can check yamaha network card for music maybe it can help
good luck.
I HOPE I HELPED A LITTLE
