Subject: Amiga 500?
Original Message 1/14 08-Sep-98 @ 08:04 AM - Amiga 500?
I've got a trusty old Amiga 500 kicking around that I haven't used for years. I was wondering if its possible to MIDI enable it somehow for use as a sequencer or as a sound source or something...? Any ideas or is it not worth the effort?

Yo !
Welll hmmm... you can of course use the trusty old Amiga for sequencing and such...
I still have my old machine safely tucked away in a closet somewhere...
First of all you need to buy a midi interface that you connect to your serial port
It will sett you back ca. 20 quid...
Then you must get hold of some programs to run on your machine.
There is the obvious Bars and pipes from Blue Ribbon Software. Which you can get for free on.
Just search the web. The user interface is a bit strange though.
The KCS sequencer is much better to my opinion. I used to use it when i still sequenced with
the Amiga.
On the other hand you could get an equaly old Atari (W 1 meg) for 50 pounds.
It has built in midi interface. And software is much easier to obtain.
A few years ago the piracy market for both these machines were well developed.
Nowadays I do not know....
Check your neighbourhood for old Amiga/Atari users, they can prob supply you with the
programmes you need to get started...---

I *think¨* I read something about a 303 clone on it though, not sure about it.
I've still got an amiga2000 hidden away somewhere, unfortunately the harddisk has crashed.
