Thanks for the quote above which is entirely correct, a dongle is a security device, however the Creator Dongle is that and a bit more. The Creator software is a midi studio, in fact the original creative labs software was wrote for the atari (so I am led to believe) - there was several packages wrote all utilised the midi ports on the Atari ST, the dongle is a secrurity device, without it the program wont run, but it is also an extension of the circitry. The bottom of the range was the Notator Creator software and dongle, the top of the range was Unitor Notator which also expanded your midi capabilities. this software also had a couple of 'sisters' such as the original Cubase. This software was used extensively in music studios during the late 80's and during the 90's; in fact Win95 (and Apple Mac) took over with the newer product of CuBase etc and is still in use in some studio's (mine for instance) and some colleges for training (and history i guess) The rrp on the full Unitor was around £700 in the Uk around 1990 I aint sure what the Creator was rrp'd at tho.

I have several creator dongles, software and manuals if anyone is interested in offering me a reasonable price. buffalouk@hotmail.com
