A bored Google search brought me to this fascinating thread. I was an avid AST user for a few years. I recompiled the source to add a feature: randomly choose values for chorus reverb parameters. AST was pretty stable for me with careful use..

I have fantasized about getting a USB ISA adapter to get my newly sourced AWE64 gold working without the need for another computer in my life. It sounds like that is a unknown path (judging by this thread) and I expect it would be an unsuccessful, expensive folly. My mate recently got a vintage EMU sampler 'cause he loves the sound... I guess AST would be a cheaper and more conveniently programmable option.

In practice, when I feel like playing with beats I find Bespoken synth makes the growling lfo filtered bass that AST gave me hours of pleasure with >20 years ago, possible today.
