I have a 1040ste that I bought mainly to run music (midi) applications. I find it surprising that none of the discussions on this message base seem to revolve around midi, considering that the ports are built right into the machine. I have Notator, xor, and the following synths: Yamaha:TG-55, SY-22, DX-7(original, tx-16w(sampler) Alesis:quadraverb, hr-16b art: multiverb ext korg: ex-800 (for sale...) I would love to start trading sounds that I have made, and other pd sounds with other users of these machines. Also, midi songs would be great too.

I've owned an ST for three years and have never connected anything to the MIDI ports, not even for cheap networking. Nor have I connected anything to the cartridge port. But just the ports being there makes you want to plug something in them, doesn't it? :^) I wonder if anything will ever be connecting and working on those analog joystick ports on the side of the STe. They're supposedly not even on the MegaSTe. Wonder what keen idea Uncle Jack and Associates had for those. - Keep on rocking in the free world Right on, dude! -- Ed Krimen ............................................... ||| Video Production Major, California State University, Chico ||| INTERNET: ekrimen@ecst.csuchico.edu FREENET: al661 / | \ SysOp, Fuji BBS: 916-894-1261 FIDONET: 1:119/4.0

Nor have I connected Me neither, but if you are really itching to connect something there is a gadget you can buy that allows you to connect any PC keyboard to your ST that hooks to the MIDI port. You can even use the wireless infared ones. Pretty nifty, especially for those that have 1040 and 520's. You know, if Atari just made the tops of the keycaps a little smaller (thus more free space surrounding the keys) it would probably feel a lot nicer. Just my $0.02 . . -- Mickey R.

Yeah, it's called RX. It used to be advertised in ST Informer quite a bit. While we're speaking about optional keyboards, a similar item is Z-Keys (I think that's the name) from Zubair Enterprises. This one connects to the pin inside the ST where the keyboard assembly attaches. Wuztek, the multisync monitor folks, also make one. -- Ed Krimen ............................................... ||| Video Production Major, California State University, Chico ||| INTERNET: ekrimen@ecst.csuchico.edu FREENET: al661 / | \ SysOp, Fuji BBS: 916-894-1261 FIDONET: 1:119/4.0

I certainly plug things in to my mega, there isn't a free slot on the
back of it :-)
Synths and Midi were the reason I bought my first St back in those
days when Tos was on disks and didn't bomb. (No it didn't bomb, it
gave you MUSHROOMS !!!, oh atari: why did you replace them with bombs ?).
As for synth sounds, I too am very interested in sounds, but for the
roland LA-series of synth's; D-50,D-10,D-20,Mt-32.
In fact, I am so interested in it that I'm writing a patch-editor for
the D-110 right now. It's in the testing stage, and the reason I post
this is to get people that want to test it. I don't know many people
over here that has the Atari/D-10 setup, so I am asking you.
The editor is completely written with ease of use in mind (read GEM)
and has an option to translate D-50 files into D-10 sounds.
When it's completely finished (and free of bugs, well almost..) I
will post it to comp.binaries. That may be never, if I don't get
anyone to help me with bug-reporting. This is your chance - Take it !
To receive a copy of the editor, write email to
erlingh@idt.unit.no
Happy synthing.

One of the guys in this discussion meantioned an IBM keyboard interface that uses the MIDI port.. Where can I find out more about this. The only thing that I have seen that allows the hook-up of an IBM keyboard is a device that costs _$99_! and is called Z-Keys I think... I would have e-mailed this to the poster, but my mailer is screwing up today.... .......Yonderboy@cup.portal.com
