[comp.music] 2-port MIDI interface

ckp@grebyn.com (Checkpoint Technologies) (12/06/89)

Here's a quick Market Reasearch questionaire for all you Amiga MIDI fans.  

These questions are in regard to a 2-serial-port MIDI adapter that we 
are developing.  That means it can handle 32 MIDI channels.  

Please describe the MIDI interface You would want to buy and use...

 o   How many OUTS should it have?
 o   How many THRUS should it have?
 o   Does it need to have a switchable OUT/THRU?
 o   Would it still need a switchable OUT/THRU if it had "enough" OUTS?
 o   How many is "enough" OUTS?
 o   Should any/all OUTS/THRUS be switchable between port 1 and port 2?
 o   Does it need to have LEDS to indicate signal presence?
 o   Would you like to be able to merge the two IN adaptors to a single
     serial port?
 o   Does it need a serial-port pass-thru?  
     ( Remember this is your 2nd and 3rd serial ports )

 o   What existing Amiga MIDI software would You like to see make use of 
     these extra/alternate MIDI channels??
 o   How much would You pay for this "dream" MIDI adaptor?
 o   Which features are "must haves"?
 o   Which features are "nice to have if not too expensive?"
 
All MIDI users are invited to respond. I would especially like to get 
feedback from those of you who are or will be using more than 16 MIDI 
channels.  Even though this adaptor will be for the Amiga, non-Amiga users 
are also invited to respond.

Thanks.
