No that was the PDP-11. I wouldn't know a mark-11 from a brick.

Seems the hard way was as most PCs with sound record can do that. The
problem of doing straight A/d is the host computer has to be fast enough
to support 22,000 or greater samples a second and enough memory to store
it all. Midi is not fast enough to sample/reproduce straight a/d or d/a
sound wich is why all midi devices that are reproducers are self
contained.
