Comment on New MSX Audio ROM Available by Dennis

Hi there, this poke is used for bios extensions and i remember DOS uses this as well for it’s own. The idea of this addres (-54 equal &HFFCA) is to let it point to a routine which handles things for your extension -and- when finished, point back to previous installed extensions like DOS2 or netwerk adapter… With a fixed poke -54,35 previous extensions don’t get a chance anymore. If MSX-Audio is the only extension, it’s no issue.

I think Dennis knows It’s probably for supporting existing programs that use the poke. I’ll ask.

Hi Dennis!

I’m back on working on the MSX-Audio BIOS, and I’m looking to integrate your fixes on the next version MSX-Audio BIOS.

But one thing didn’t make sense: You said that the poke-54,35 gave problems on DOS again. But this poke is only needed to fake the presence of the BIOS when the real one it isn’t present.
With the BIOS installed, the POKE-54,35 isn’t needed anymore and Compile games will detect the MSX-Audio normally.

Yes, you will have to connect it to a midi device.

Hello
Do I need to connect the midi-pac to a midi module to enjoy it? Or can I connect it to a amplifier?

I guess i’m speaking latin

The MIDI-PAC is default playing with standards MIDI instrument and it will only use the key on/off, modulation, volume and instrument change commands. It will not manipulating the instruments with custom commands as this would mean that it won’t work within the GM standard.
Note: For those who want to change the midi instrument parameters, it’s supported but default turned off.

hello. ( You speak French or Hebrew? lol)

I want to know if the MIDI PAC can play the FM-PAC melody without modifying STAMP or ENVELOPE notes played!

In other words, the MIDI PAC can he play MIDI INSTRUMENTS without trying to make them resembling INSTRUMENTS FM PAC?

This question interests me in my project of creating a MSX KARAOKE!

Thank you.

Are you meaning that it is possible to record a music/song inside the MIDI-PAC and play it afterwards ?
I so then i have to say no. It’s not possible to record any music inside the MIDI-PAC.

But i guess that their are a lot of possibilities on storing msx music’s on your harddisk/sd-card.

Please let me know if you mean something else !

Hi. (sorry for my bad english)

I want know if the MIDI PAC can repeat the FM PAC mélody without rework the effects and limit the beauty of Général midi instruments ?

The reason of my question it’s very simple!
I want create a KARAOKE System with use the MIDI PAC and Général Midi Instrumental quality!

For the singing, i use à microphone (600 Oms) with a pré-amplifier (K1803 Welleman Kit “9€”) and i plug it in the LINE connection of the Fm Stéréo Pac. It work perfectly!

Best regards.

It's not usb signal, just used usb connector. You need a usb to midi interface cable (usb for the PC side) and a 5 PIN MIDI cable coupler (female). With those two you can connect the MIDI-PAC and MIDI-PAC cable to your pc.
