Hi guys,
For many years I used MIDI sequencing software on real Amigas to create music. Then for many years after that I used the same Amiga software through WinUAE (emulation) and it worked great. MIDI is well supported in WinUAE.
A few years ago I switched to Linux and therefore to FS-UAE, the native Amiga emulator for Linux operating systems. It's pretty good, but it doesn't support MIDI.
Just a few days ago I tried installing WinUAE on Linux using WINE. Much to my surprise, the MIDI support in WinUAE works under Linux! In fact, WinUAE actually performed faster than FS-UAE in many aspects (i.e. graphics rendering). I should have tried this much earlier, but I had always assumed WinUAE would take a performance hit in WINE on Linux. I also thought that if Linux-native Amiga emulators were unable to support MIDI, then surely it would be unlikely that a Windows app would know how to use MIDI interfaces being run through all those layers of abstraction (AmigaOS ---> WINE ----> Linux).
Anyway, I'm just posting this here for anyone who might not have known that this could work. As I said, I was very surprised....the timing also seems to be reliable in my brief testing (both recording and playing MIDI information).
