Thank God. It is only 3 decades overdue. Hope DAW developers catch up pretty soon.

At the time, when MIDI was introduced, there weren't any computer used for music. It was the only protocol. I wonder if MIDI is needed at all today, since modern programming language can handle every sound parameter natively.
Even Studio One proudly declares that there's "no MIDI under the hood" for their DAW. VST, ARA, LV2, CLAP, AU, Jesusonic, etc are all to some extent an extension to MIDI also. Last edited by krahosk; 05-26-2023 at 07:33 AM. |

http://retrosynthads.blogspot.com/20...-model-64.html A guy in my live band had a Sequential Circuits Prophet 600, and I bought the Model 64 MIDI interface/sequencer to use with my C64. Very shortly after, I got a Roland, and in 1984 bought a Sequential Circuits Six-Trak right when they hit the street. The Model 64 MIDI interface/sequencer had an analog pulse clock input, and I would stripe a clock signal using my Sequential Circuits DrumTraks to one track of the eight channels of my Ampex 1" recorder, https://forum.cockos.com/attachment....2&d=1567387854 and then be able to record multiple MIDI parts that played in sync from the Model 64. Since mixdown was to analog tape, both the seven remaining tracks from the 1" Ampex and all the MIDI keyboards playing in sync would end up on the master mix. Edit: For clarification, the Sequential Model 64 had the sequencer software in the interface, and since it plugged into the game card slot on a C64, just turning on the computer with the Model 64 plugged in, booted directly to the sequencing software, which (trivia moment) was written by Tim Ryan, who later created MidiMan which later became M-Audio.

I love the C64. The SID chip sounds defines an era.

You were cutting edge, Glennbo! All I did to was play games on the C64.

The SID chip designers were some of the same folks who designed the Ensoniq sampling keyboard IIRC.

Even had a random patch generator for my Sequential synth, where on screen like a slot machine, numbers were constantly rolling, and when you hit the space bar, they would all freeze with whatever value they had and then transmit the data to the synth where you could try it, and if it was a cool sound, save it. If not, you hit the space bar and all the random numbers started rolling again. Last edited by Glennbo; 07-10-2023 at 01:19 PM. |

I never used this after getting MIDI sequencing on my C64. Last edited by Glennbo; 06-22-2023 at 12:11 PM. |

midi 2 in linux kernel Docs.
With the impending addition of midi2 into the 6.4 kernel, docs have appeared in kernel submissions for ALSA.
