Cubase 2.0 for Atari ST - dongle based

"Send MTC and MIDI Clock

You can also make Cubase output MIDI Time Code, MIDI Sync(MIDI clock, Start
Stop and son...) or both at the same time, via any combination of outputs,
even while it is synced to any other format. You may for example make Cubase
send out MIDI Clock when it is synced to MTC. Use the pop-up menus to set
this to Off or to select an output for each of the two types of sync."

Quite an amazing personal computer program back in 1991 - play keyboard and
it would write musical notation to screen with just a few seconds delay.
