At stores in NYC they're selling it for $200+ I've got a flyer at home - if you want an address...

I have a question. Amiga 500 has it's MIDI interface in 'serial port' RS232 which is the same as in PC. I wonder if it's possible to use Amiga's interface as MIDI interface in PC's. If so what software/hardware uses RS232 as MIDI output/input. Technically it shouldn't be different from my point of view. Is it possible to use it for PC ? Any suggestions recomended.

I bought a Dream GMX-1 sound module which runs from PC or Amiga RS232 ports. But you have to set a link on it to specify which one because the Amiga will produce the standard MIDI baud rate (31.25kbaud) whereas the nearest the PC can get is 38400 baud. An RS232 Midi interface for Amiga wouldn't need to convert baud rates whereas one designed for PC presumably would - I have searched hard and long for any way of tricking 31.25kbaud out of a PC's serial port, without success. The GMX-1, and presumably the other sound modules with built in PC serial interfaces (Yamaha TG100, Roland PC7 etc) comes with software to play midi files and drivers for Windows 3.1 allowing you to use Windows sequencers. I don't know of any in the public domain though. Anyone else know? Anyway the baud rate problem seems insurmountable - one always comes back to the need to buy a proper midi interface card for the PC! Or a sound card or desktop sound module with midi in and out sockets. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | email: Steve.Gilbey@bristol.ac.uk | | Steve Gilbey | ----------------------------------------------- | | Bristol University, UK | / / ~ | | | "...mas viejo que ayer, mas joven que manana." | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Oct 1993 18:40:09 +0000 From: Russell Subject: TG / SY 55 Does anyone use a tg55 and an Amiga as a sequencer? ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Oct 1993 20:27:03 +0000 From: Russell Subject: Yamaha TG55 / SY55 Does anyone own a TG55 and use an Amiga as a sequencer? ------------------------------ End of the EMUSIC-L Digest ******************************
