[comp.sys.mac.misc] MIDI with a Mac IIfx

grahams@milton.u.washington.edu (Stephen Graham) (11/22/90)

Help? I've just been told that there are hardware
incompatibilities between Mac IIfx's and MIDI
interfaces. I was also informed that certain
patched programs exist that get around this.

Where, oh where, might I find such a beast?

Thanks,

It's a CDEV (??? Serial ???) that sets the compatibility of your serial
port. It's free and should be availabe at the local music store and it works
great.

The MIDI Manager 2.0 has support for the MacIIfx.

If you don't have a MIDI Manager 2.0 available to you, you can get it over
the network as part of the demonstration program for Lime.  Lime is music
notation software for the Macintosh; you can get it over the network if you
can ftp, and if you have StuffIt on your Macintosh.

Use anonymous ftp from novamail.cerl.uiuc.edu (inet number: 128.174.180.9);
the files for Lime are in the /pub/lime directory.  Be sure and read the 
README file.

(For those who may have gotten older copies of the Lime demonstration program
-- it didn't used to have the MIDI Manager 2.0, but it does now.  It also has
all the bugs that people reported fixed...)
