Plastik Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Thanks Gazoo I've been looking everywhere for the midi master software! Does anyone have some schematics for a sidecart rs-232 for those without a PEB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Thanks Gazoo, I'll store them for later use, when I've actually got a working cable. First I'm trying to find some more info. It's REALLY odd, that there is virtually nothing on the internet about it. However, thanks to you, we are a little step closer. Perhaps we could put it in a wiki.

Plastik Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Dexter trust me I searched about a month ago and came up with nothing but just some articles talking about it. I've gotten more information in just these few post on here than all of the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazoo Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Still waiting to hear if there's any copyright claims on the original disks. Anyone? Gazoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Gazoo, Mike Maksimik does come on here once in a while--so you could check with him directly on the rights to the software and whether or not he'll let it into free distribution. . .

I found Mike and sent a message to him regarding this. I included in it an experience we shared while having dinner at a steakhouse on a night before a Lima Faire, I have a feeling he'll smile when he reads the message. We'll see what happens...

Gazoo Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 MIDIMASTER.dsk MIDIFILES.dsk Mike Maksimik has given me permission to distribute the Midi Master software. Here are the 2 disks that were originally distributed by Cecure Electronics. Mike has requested that the software not be altered in a way that would remove his name from it. Please honor his request.

+Ksarul Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I haven't moved it over to my TI yet, Gazoo. . .but it is on my list of important things to test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Has anyone used this software since I posted it? Gazoo No, I didn't, I don't feel confident enough to try and make the cable and try it on the nanoPEB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkdrummer Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I just found my Roland PMA-5. It's a handheld midi device - really cool. I am wondering if I could hook this thing up to my nanoPEB system? would the above wiring that Gazoo posted work? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am wondering if I could hook this thing up to my nanoPEB system? would the above wiring that Gazoo posted work? at the very least 2 and 3 are reversed on the nanopeb.. pinout should be the same as a peecee also any software using the port needs to use the DSR any custom comm routines will not work on a nano, calls from basic and teii work fine Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneMultitasker Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 also any software using the port needs to use the DSR any custom comm routines will not work on a nano, calls from basic and teii work fine Greg for the V1 nano, I would amend this to say that any software using the port needs either to use the DSR or to be updated (fixed) to turn on the port as expected by the nano. I do have the source to Mike's version of Midi Master and have chatted with Swim about making changes, which should be fairly simple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Speaking of music... one of my dreams for YEARS has been to get this MOD file converted to the TI-99/4A. I know it can be done, because I used to have it on my old TI decades ago. When I finally got back into the TI, I was shocked not to find it readily available.

sparkdrummer Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 So if I swap the wires as arcadeshopper stated I'd still be dead in the water, huh? That's too bad - the pma5 is a fine midi sound module and I like how compact it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, though if you have things in place and want to test, I'll update the Midi Master 2.3 disk (as posted in this thread) and you can give it a try. I ordered a pair of 5-pin DIN MIDI cables for my Yamaha keyboard a week ago, they haven't arrived yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkdrummer Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I will cobble together a cable tomorrow and be ready to give it a try. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneMultitasker Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) I will cobble together a cable tomorrow and be ready to give it a try. Thanks! The files MAING and MASEXB were modified to explicitly turn the serial port on and off. This should make the programs compatible with the nano serial port. I cannot test anything until the rest of my hardware arrives. If Bruce's later release also works with a non-SAMS system, we can probably modify it to work with the nano as well. EDIT: for anyone trying to use the 'original' disk attached elsewhere in this thread, the disk volume name should be changed to MIDI, otherwise you'll get a fatal error during the load process.
