Can anyone point me at an FTP site that has documentation on the Roland MPU 401 (or its other incarnations) and/or examples of coding (not music, but code that accesses the board at the I/O port level)? I don't have the technical reference manual... Stan Wileman, stanw@zeus.unomaha.edu

Aside from that, I'd suggest buying a book, such as Jim Conger's _C_Programming_for_MIDI_. It gives you some assembly code for accessing the interface, and C routines to link with them. - Boris Burtin

I don't know of a ftp for midi, but if you need good specs along with software, check with Music Quest. They sell a programmers toolkit for the MQX series and other MPU 401 compatable I/F's that comes with the full MPU spec. and cotains 'C' callable subroutines that can do the low level I/O for you (ie: all the stuff needed to write own sequencer).

I don't know about FTP sites but there is a book by Jim Conger called "C Programming for MIDI" that talks specifically about the MPU 401. It's published by M & T Publishing, Inc.; 501 Galveston Drive; Redwood City, CA 94963. Mark Eades
