    TashRecorder: a Farallon MacRecorder compatible clone

    I don't see the PIC in this supported list unfortunately: http://www.xgecu.com/MiniPro/TL866II_List.txt however (video example at correct time stamp): but no telling if this particular one used in the project is supported.

    TashRecorder: a Farallon MacRecorder compatible clone

    Another question, the front panel comes up at around $25 in JLCPCB but it has strangely selected a "plugged" setting for the VIAs. My understanding is that those panels are nonfunctional and are just there to provide space for the plugs and knob (a great strategy that was also used in the...

    TashRecorder: a Farallon MacRecorder compatible clone

    that's great! I have a TL866 programmer so I'm gonna be looking out for a tutorial on one of these. I guess the workflow would still be to install MPLAB 5.35 to get the .hex and use that in the TL866 software (which I've used in the past for redoing a set of Mac Plus ROMs) Would you be open to...

    TashRecorder: a Farallon MacRecorder compatible clone

    Looks very fun to build and own. I would have loved to use this to make my own sound effects in World Builder rather than rely on poor shareware disks filled with sound clips that were more or less relevant. I'm not clear one the PIC12F1501 programming. Does it involve a special hardware...

    Homemade MIDI switching (3in 3out)

    Update: I'm working on a video. Short story: the GND pins must *not* be connected together. it was drowning the signal when all connectors were present. pin2 of the DIN5 sockets are only tied to the midi cables' shielding, nothing else. Not between each other. Details in there...

    ThinkC Programmatically (in C) send MIDI out signal from modem port, SE/30

    The solution was suggested to me from various people from 68kmla and mastodon, I thank them all. Here's a quick test of a major scale with every note played with a delay of 1s between each: this was the magic ingredient that I was missing to finally force the serial port to behave at 31250...

    Programming a MIDI file parser *and* player

    a bit late but here's my github repo with the python code after a few iterations: https://github.com/Mu0n/PythonMidiPlayer It can deal with: Type 0 (single track) and type 1 (multi-track) .mid files siphon off the relevant MIDI commands for playback (note on, note off, pressure, etc) parse...

    My little guide on RGBTOHDMI installed on Classic, Plus, etc.

    I walked back my true and tested method of shove-Dupont-M-wire-end-into-J12-socket for my SE/30 and got myself a J12 passthrough from jcm-1.com hosted by Joe, designed by @Ron's Computer Videos. https://jcm-1.com/product/j12-passthrough-for-se-se-3/ The IDC connector at the side of it is...

    ThinkC Programmatically (in C) send MIDI out signal from modem port, SE/30

    I assembled a small breaboard midi-in circuit, powered by a bench supply providing 5V, according to this well known circuit: which looks like this (I had optoisolator H11 chips from previous projects) and just to prove it works, I plugged my pocketmac midi out cable to this breadboard...

    ThinkC Programmatically (in C) send MIDI out signal from modem port, SE/30

    Let's get what I'm using as gear out of the way: Dev Machine: modern PC with Basilisk II set with System 7.5.5, Symantec C++ 6.0 Target Machine: SE/30 with System 7.5.3, no Apple MIDI Manager (prefer not to use it since I want to target 6.0.8 and a Mac Plus as well) PocketMac MIDI interface...

    Reverse-engineering vintage MIDI playback

    I switched to MIDI-OX, which is way more full-fledge featured than MIDIVIEW, here's what it looks like: Here's a video of the soundtrack I'm trying to reproduce, captured through hardware by someone else years ago: Below, you can find a quick recording of me playing it, track by track...

    Reverse-engineering vintage MIDI playback

    Setup #2 used: I have a Serdashop DB15MIDI adaptor that creates 2 OUTs from my 486. One is sent independently to my modern PC for analysis with MIDIView, the other is sent independently to my MT-32 for playback (not essential, but nice). Once I learn which program change # are used, I switch...

    Reverse-engineering vintage MIDI playback

    I'm using a 486 playing a game that uses MIDI signals (Ultima Underworld 1). it sends them out its joystick port pin12 (so far, nothing special). This gets converted with my custom cables into a midi cable, that I send into a modern MIDI USB interface, plugged on my 2024 PC. I then intercept...

    Programming a MIDI file parser *and* player

    This python script can be used to quickly test out your MIDI out connection to a sound module. It will simply play out a C major scale with the default MIDI instrument, the piano. # Define the MIDI commands for a C-major scale notes = [60, 62, 64, 65, 67, 69, 71, 72] # MIDI note numbers for C4...

    Programming a MIDI file parser *and* player

    Goals: understand the MIDI file format specs program a parser that detects every type of MIDI command, including the System Extension ones program a player that digests the previous information and sends it out to a serial port so it can be consumed by an external midi device (ie a sound...
