Alas, I come to complain about MorphOS

But then I don't know what the MOS team are working on....

Pointing out AmigaOne hardware flaws

To use MIDI you would need a computer with old style serial port (Pegasos 1/2 or Efika ?), it certainly is supported in MorphOS but to my understanding MIDI via USB would require isochronous support... so it comes back to USB then.

USB2MIDI cable costs $5. MIDI is very old standard and almost any computer I have seen supports in one way or another. Microsoft tried to ditch it in Windows 7 but it still works with simple configuration hack.

Here is my AmigaOne controling KORG PA50 via MIDI. Using CAMD library.

If isochronous suppot means being able to play while it performs - then it works nice.

I cn install Camd library and get Hd-Rec to lpad, but this far none of the USB midi devices I've tested were properly handled by MorphOS.

Which model did you use?
P.s. Have not been able to watch your video yet, bandwidth is too lOw here.

I use simple, cheap USB2MIDI cable off ebay for $5. It has MIDI in and out. I installed the CAMD library, set the synth to be controlled by external sequencer and then all the tools included with camd worked. Even the simple MIDI player I downloaded from OS4Depot written in Blitz BASIC works. Horny works too. MIDI works nice on my Amiga.
On this video the sound from the synth is too loud and little distorted. I learned my lesson and in my newer videos I set it to be on lower volume.

One of the utilities included with CAMD library shows the keys pressed on the synth, or the sequences send to the synth - something like the old EDPlayer on classic Amigas. Very useful and helping for learning songs and performances.
Pure asynchronous play.

Nice!!!

Problem though, all my USB midI adapters came from EBay. Can you post a pic of the exact one you used? If I can get MIDI to work on MorphOS, then I can find a work around for recording audio since USB sound cards are neglectfully out of the question...

I mean regretfully.

I just recorded another video - I am showing the USB2MIDI cable in it.

Almost dropped the synth on the floor, again, while trying to lift it to show in the video. I realized at the end, it's easier to move the camcorder and show the synth than moving the synth. Oh well, the sound turned to be loud again, but I was trying to mute the noisy fan of my AmigaONE PSU.
