Hi Matthew,<br>
<br>
I owned an MKS-70 and the PG-800 in the late 80s/early 90s. Wonderful<br>
hardware, the MKS-70 was one of the best-sounding analog synths I've<br>
ever heard.<br>
<br>
There was a DOS program called PC-800 that you might be able to find in<br>
one of the ancient DOS software repos. It worked, but not particularly<br>
well, so it might work under DOSemu.<br>
<br>
If you can find a similar utility for the Atari you might be able to run<br>
it under Hatari or XSteem.</blockquote><div><br>I have a JX-10 in my studio and is a bit curious about this. How will a software version of the PG-800 communicate with the hardware synth? If I'm not mistaken, the PG-800 has it's own custom hardware interface.<br>
