Hello all,
I purchased a Roland SC-88VL which I wish to use SC-55 Mode; I mainly plan to play early 90's sierra games (qg3, kq6, etc.). I'm using my AWE32 CT3930's UART connected via a generic cable off of eBay. The cable contains a female joystick port and two DIN5 males -- one label 'IN' and other 'OUT'. I can get my MT-32 working fine on this cable.
I'm thinking that I'm missing something with the SC-88VL, everything sounds off. I noticed that there are two inputs: 'A' and 'B'. I also noticed that different note comes out of having the 'OUT' plug connected to either one. My conclusion is that I need to connect input to both A and B simultaneously.
As the entire UART cable has only one OUT, I think that I'll need a thru box. I plan to use this one : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Midi-Solutions-Quadra … =item3a901a4e1e
Yes, I know that I only need the also available 1-in 2-out box, which leads to my second question...
Can I also use the 4-in 1-out box to simultaneously hook up the SC-88VL and MT-32? I will then have a 3.5mm 2-female 1-male Y-cable at my CT3930's input. Of course, I would only run one at a time.
Please let me know how far off I am. Any advice would be appreciated.
One little question: The SC-88VL came dirty. I took the cover off for cleaning and noticed a CR2032 inside, which I then replaced since I was inside anyway. What was this battery's purpose? Just curious.
Finally, I want to thank you guys again for your help concerning my AWE32 CT3930. In particular j^aws, who uploaded all of those files.
Thank you all
