Description

The SMP-24 operates on two linked, but independently programmable, levels: it's a MIDI processor, as well as a SMPTE/EBU-MIDI-Clock synchroniser. Operations can be further separated depending on whether or not it is connected to an Atari ST micro with Steinberg's Pro-24 software loaded and running.

As a stand-alone MIDI processor, the SMP-24 acts as an 'intelligent' MIDI buffer, enabling many of the benefits to be gained from using a MIDI sequencer to control large arrays of MIDI devices.

As a stand-alone synchronisation processor, it will read and generate most of the common timecode standards, and serve as a master time controller/interface, translating these codes as necessary.

Critic Reviews

Steinberg SMP-24 (SOS May 87)

muzines.co.uk

The Steinberg SMP-24 offers a robust combination of MIDI processing and synchronization features, making it a versatile tool for musicians. However, its usability is hindered by a complex interface and a poorly translated manual that can frustrate even seasoned users. While it excels in integrating with the Atari ST and can manage multiple MIDI devices seamlessly, the steep learning curve and initial bugs detract from its appeal. Overall, the SMP-24 shines in function but falters in user-friendliness, leaving potential buyers to weigh its capabilities against the time investment required to master it.
