Curator's note

This is the interface the catalogue was written in: a track list, a bar grid, and a conductor track holding the tempo.

The capture is not from the original machine, but a reference photo from the internet.

During conversion, intermediate software was used to open the original MOTU Performer files and save them in Standard Music Format. The files contained only MIDI information and no audio. The MIDI tracks would be used to reconstruct the songs using modern hardware and software.
