I am contemplating the purchase of a Roland MPU-401 MIDI interface. I would like to hear from anyone who has cross-bred this hardware with a Vax. We have a DR-11C 16-bit parallel board on our 750, running 4.2BSD. Software is not a problem, I want to write my own. I'd just like to hear from anyone who has had any problems combining all this. Or any successes. Or any comments on the 401 in general. I'm pretty sure it does what I want but I haven't studied the specs in great detail. Please mail any comments to me and I will summarize to the net if enough interest is expressed. Incidentally it was not easy convincing the salesman that I didn't need either the IBM or Apple interface to go with the 401. Thanks in advance Steve Hayman Computer Graphics Lab U. of Waterlooooo watmath!watcgl!sahayman

I'm just about to start on this. We have a digisound-16 (2 48kz DACs) that we've just finished interfacing to our VAX through a DR-11B. However, entering songs is kind of tedious even with my Music editor. was just given a DR-11C and am going down to pick up the MPU this week. We can do the design here if no one else post one. -Ron
