i want to report my success with building a MIDI interface for my amiga. The circuit was from one of the fred fish disks and was nearly identical to the circuit in "MIDI FOR MUSICIANS" by Craig Anderton. With the proper optoisolator and inverter it works great just as published. Use the Sanyo PC-900 (about $2.00) and the 74LS04 as published and it works great with no resister dinking. I am using the midistuff set of programs (MIDIdump,MIDIkeys,MIDIrec,MIDIclock) to load and save system executive messages and sequences. I also tried MED2.13 with the midi driving my synth. Have not gotten overly creative yet but the package does record keystrokes on multiple channels and plays songs back over midi. You can mix the sampled sounds on the amiga and MIDI channels for the various voices of the songs. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alan McDonley, Martin Marietta Information and Communication Systems (303) 977-3347 mcdonley@inlatlas.den.mmc.com P.O.Box 1260 ncar!dinl!mcdonley Denver,CO 80201-1260 Opinions are my own, not my employer's. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
