[comp.sys.next] Hangin' on the MIDI line [twisting in the wind] ....

gtaylor@vme.heurikon.com (Gregory Taylor) (06/21/91)

You know, I've had such fun gee-whizzing at how much cleaner and
faster the '040 bangs on Csound and Cmix that I've hardly had urge
one to hook up the MIDI interface [and, to be honest, it only depresses
me to not be able to fire up MAX on a NeXT. Kind of an avoidance thing,
I guess].

You guessed it. I seem to have fallen prey to the gotcha listed in the
NeXT answers on the new serial port stuff. My trusty Opcode Studio
Plus 2 interface seems to not work very well. Not at all, actually.
You should see that amber LED hum, though....

So, the question is:

Do I have to shell out the bucks to a whole 'nother umptyhundreddollar
Studio 3 interface before I can use it? Is there a thriftier solution
that you '040 owners have located that I'm unaware of?

With regards,
Gregory Taylor
