Sound Designer by Digidesign was introduced and ported from the Mac in 1989. In it's Sound Designer II guise which followed in 1990, it is the software Sample Editor for the Sound Tools hardware package, and forerunner to Avid Technology's Pro Tools. To note, the Sound Tools package included the Atari Sound Accelerator expansion card containing a stereo DAC and a Motorola 56001 DSP, external stereo ADC, and as mentioned, the Sound Designer II software. Ultimately Sound Tools allows the link between your Atari and hardware Sampler allowing faster transfers than MIDI. As such, the Sound Tools package is considered to be the first Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) when it arrived on the Mac. Accompanied by the Sound Tools hardware, Sound Designer II can record stereo sound in real time directly to your Atari's Hard Disk. Despite popular belief, Sound Designer can run on any Atari ST, although as a package, Sound Tools was made with the Atari Mega ST in mind, specifically referring to the Atari Sound Accelerator to be fitted to the Mega ST. Via the Sound Tools audio input/ouput box, Sound Designer is capable of 16-bit stereo sample frequencies of up to 48 kHz.
