Famous DJ used an A500 23 years ago

[dirkies]

Saw this on facebook, from DJ Kiko Navarro, did not know that:

1991-My first ever home studio: Yamaha DX-21 synth, Commodore Amiga 500 as midi sequencer with Music-X soft and Yamaha TX-16W sampler.

Anyone used Music-X with Midi on the miggy?

Sorry to age us all, but that's 33 years ago. The Amiga (A500-era, at least) may have lagged behind the ST for making music using MIDI, but plenty of people got their start with them.

Oops, correct, 33 years ago :-)

I think DJ Kiko Navarro and famous DJ is doing some really heavy lifting there.

As a house dj for 30 years I have played many of his tracks, ok, maybe not universally famous, but a know producer in my box, and his track record shows he's one of the house posse

Betty Boo used an A500 to make the demo for her first album IIRC, and I don't mean just to control MIDI equipment via a sequencer.

Fair enough , never been a massive house person. Cut my teeth on trance and for a long time (with a host of other music as pretty wide range of likes) all about the jungle/dnb
