Tiido, care to share what equalizer you are using? Also interested to see what kind of speakers you are using.

Yes i have of course a mixer (Roland ED M-10). But some people do have an equalizer too. Look at this dude https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQn3SyDh2Xo He has an equalizer under all his MIDI devices.
Hardware equaliser anyone?
Posted on 2024-02-27, 23:48
Hi. I have noticed from pictures or video online that people into MIDI stacks and retro audiocards sometimes have an equalizer on their desk. Most of the time, they are from Technics. I would like to know more from people using one. Are they any real advantages over a software equalizer? Is there an …
Re: PicoMEM : Pi Pico on ISA, with full Memory and I/O bus access
Posted on 2023-11-26, 23:23
I think the PicoMEM could enhance vastly my PC bridgeboard system in my Amiga. The combo Adlib + big HD drive emulation of 4 GB alone is a killer, let alone if it does LAN and bluetooth controller. We are limited by very few ISA slots in such a system and PicoMEM could do almost everything in one 8 …

Hi. I think some of you people might have this 20 years old device as part of their MIDI stack. I have acquired one recently but i can't get past the encDSP Init Err message when powering the device. I have understood from the internet this is related to the content of the CF card but i have …

Midi gear is a whole other rabbit hole to go down. Even though the emulation is really good, there's something special about having actual hardware. I recently picked up a Roland MT-300S and love it. It was meant to help people learn how to play piano and looks like a boombox with a floppy drive. …

Yeah actually i have all this already (MT32, SC55, SC88 - don't use this one at the moment, too bulky for my desk space, Yamaha MU-100 and Korg X5DR), but i like to add new blood to my MIDI tower and have sometimes them play together. All this stuff is connected to two Amiga, to my retroPC, to my …

Just bought a Miniplus USB MIDI device to add to my MIDI music stack. Not retro in itself but will join my older Roland/Yamaha/Korg stuff. Is it any good?
Re: Trackstar: Apple II clone on ISA card - new website up
Posted on 2023-09-11, 12:17
Hi DeathAdderSF. I have a question about the Trackstar and sound. I believe the board could produce beeps just like to native speaker of the Apple II, and pass them to the host PC. What about music? Is there an emulation of Apple II audio card such as Mockingboard or whatever? If not, games have to …

Limit seems to be at 3,5 mm unfortunately. In case there would be more MK8330, would that include the PCMIDI addon?

Hi Keropi. I would like to have the Orpheus LT, especially now there is no more MK8330, but i am still annoyed that the board is longer than the ISA connector, because my specific usage would be to put it in my A4000TX where there is zorro slots inline with the ISA slots. Is it possibile to know the …

I don't find it surprising that you are more interested in older computers. The 70s-90s was a period of creativity and innovation in personal computers. It was common to see new technologies introduced every few years, which usually led to new gaming experiences. People were introduced to a lot of …
Re: Roland MT-32 and SC-55Mkii Wiring

I would also save desk space by ditching the MPU-105. As both MIDI devices are fed by the same source, connect the computer to the MP32 IN, then the MP32 THRU to the SC55 IN and when using only the SC55, mute the MT32, when using only the MT32 don't power the SC55. The simpler the better. Or vice …

Maybe worth a recap. About the voltage to apply to these CPU, members who gave advices on previous post are probably right with 25 years experience, but at the time i did +0.1 to +0.2V when overclocking my K6-II, then K6-III+ to ensure to get them stable and i got no problem (no more than usual SS7 …

Is the mobo recapped? All those SS7 mobo were flackey from the start with VIA/Ali chipset and are worst now because of the capacitor plague of their time. On the second pic, although not hires, i see one that may be a little odd on the top close to the CPU.
