Using an /|\ ST as a...

[Guido Goebertus]

Hi everyone,

A few questions:

1. I'm playing with the idea to use an old Atari ST to control my
filter stuff, because it has midi ports as a standard, and because it is
easy to program. 
This 68K computer has a standard parallel port (centronics I think?)
being an 8 bit bus and several control signals.
I would like to expand it with two 8 bit latches, one being 'data' and
the other 'address'. Is this possible?
The control signals are: strobe, acknowledge, busy and select.
 
2. Also, I would like the Atari to control several envelopes by software.
and I figured I only need a DAC  as a programmable currentsource for
each ADSR, charching a cap . Am I right?

Any ideas, comments, help or even webpages on one of these subjects??

Thanks,
Guido
