ATARI INVEILS NEW MUSIC DIVISION
Formalizing a unit in operation since January 1991, Atari Corp has
announce the inception of a new business division named Atari Music.
James Grunke will lead this new division and commented, "Atari has
always done a good job making computers with a lot of power and benefits
for the money. Until this year, however, our developers and retailers
were understandably unclear on Atari's position in the US music
industry." When asked why he waited to announce a division that had
been in defacto operation for almost a year, Grunke stated, "In order
for Atari to be taken seriously in the US market we have to demonstrate
over time a consistent ability to deliver. After doing that for a year
- even in small ways - I beleive our actions will now be perceived for
what they are: evidence of a serious commitment to becomming a better
partner with our developers and retailers."
STBOOK FIRST TO ADDRESS MUSIC MARKET
The Atari STBook is also an interface with direct-to-disc recording
systems such as Hybrid Arts' Digital Master, with an average hard disk
access time of 19ms and 40, 80, or 120 MB of storage, composers can
create, save, edit, and play long and complex compositions with power
and speed. The STBook has onboard MIDI ports, rs232; parallel; and a
floppy disk/DMA port.
