LOL - I love seeing those Midi racks, tho. Nothing will EVER beat [or come close to] the real thing. Flashing lights; beep boops.

100%. I especially love how the little digital status screens of ~25 characters could be used to communicate so much information about the instruments, tracks, performance, etc. In retro-games that support Roland MT-32, game developers included little ASCII art in the loading sequence when samples and tracks were being uploaded into the MT-32's memory, that resembled the characters or monsters you would be fighting. It's really very cute.
