Don, this workstation could possibly used for the tape transport and mixer fader controls for DAW software via MIDI , but the vintage might put it as too old for that. I see that it has ZIP drive for storage. That dates is pretty far back. It's hard to see old equipment get to the state of non-usefulness when you paid so much for it originally.

I think Mac must be thinking of a different product that must have had a synth engine in it.
