@polpo Are you just using the serial interface on that 88? What program are you using for playback? 7 comments
@RonsCompVids this is 7.5.5, I haven't tried 7.1. I first tried on System 6, but couldn't find any plain ol' MIDI players that could run on it, they're all just too new. I got Cubase to run and could play some songs on 6, but the instrument mapping wasn't right. @polpo I guess the MIDI Manager is part of the OS install, or is it something seperate? @RonsCompVids it’s separate - you can get it here. AFAIK it is needed for Systems 6.x-7.x https://www.macintoshrepository.org/32704-apple-midi-manager-2-0-2 @polpo (obligatory comment about how folks should use and support Macintosh Garden over MR) |
@RonsCompVids yeah! It just plugs in with a crossover/printer type serial cable, and then depending on if the program needs it, the MIDI Manager extension needs to be installed. I've had the best results with using QMidi for playback, but MidPlay is also pretty good.
