Nostalgia: Adlib Visual Composer

A friend of mine completely surprised me and mailed me an original copy of a sequencer I used some seventeen or eighteen years ago :) !

As I was introduced to it at school, it's the first MIDI sequencer I have ever used. Memories! These screenshots are from this actual copy:

And here's the 5¼-inch floppy and the manual. Yeah, I did still have a five-inch drive around, and it worked! You can see the Ableton Live manual peeking underneath, marking the journey from past to present :D

From the manual:

"Required equipment:

To run Visual Composer, you need the following:

1. The Ad Lib Music Synthesizer Card.

2. A computer:

IBM-PC, PC XT, PC AT or a compatible equipped with at least a 360K disk drive and 256K of memory (additional memory enables longer or more complex pieces).

[... and so on] "

Yay!
