And I just happen to be selling this for use with Mssiah. :)

http://amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=52789

I have not had the opportunity to really dig into MSSIAH like I would liked to of. Though I do have a stock C64 which I will eventually add a second SID chip to and will be using that for my experiments.

I'd really be interested to see how people have used this with OctaMED S.S.

I never found the time to wrap my mind around the Hardware, plus the guy who built that for me became very scarce after a while so I never fully understood what all I had, let alone how to use it. Hence part of the reason I am parting with it. I figure someone out there with more knowledge might know what to do with it all.

As an extra prevention from learning much about MSSIAH thus far, my MicroSys Mouse adapter has NEVER worked right on my Atari 8-bit or the C64's I have. Though it does work perfectly on my Amiga. Strange.

@Vegas If you don't mind explaining a bit, perhaps with a few pics, how you got your A600 and C64 running together with MIDI and MSSIAH, I'd be eager to learn.

On a side note, my C64 did not sell ironically, not even a bid and there were 11 watchers. I guess that is a sign that I should keep it. :)

As for the Second SID upgrade, yes it's totally worth it, you get 8 Channels instead of 4!

Having Dual POKEY on the Atari 8-Bit ain't a bad idea either, now all we need is something similar to MSSIAH for it, and we'll be set! The POKEY is a highly under rated audio chip and they are cheap!

Corrected. I'm too used to my POKEY's! :)

Aghh ha ha!!! I'm so glad that my C64 did not sell!!!!!!

Now I need to order myself a new mixer board to replace my old broken one. Get my Atari 2600 MIDI adapter in the mail, and I'm going to lock my self in doors for months!

Going to try to test this out before I goto bed.

I didn't get a chance to do any testing last night, but yes, I got to SID's and some...

Commodore 64 last generation "Bread Box".
Painted with interior Porsche (car) paint
2 SID chips
2 Audio In ports (using guitar jacks)
2 Audio out ports (using guitar jacks)
4 assigned knob switches
2 built in guitar effects processors
4 additional knobs to use with MSSIAH
2 SID Feedback knobs
An additional video out port


Not sure what all it can do, or how for that matter. I had this custom built a while back, and now the guys who did the modifications are impossible to contact for info, but I'm sure I'll have it figured out in time. Being able to interface it with my Amiga gives me extra incentive.

Alright, I'm about to test this OctaMED S.S. to MSSIAH business out. I had to reorganize my room a bit and make way for the new set up.
I got excited and had to take a picture!

I still need to order a proper mixing board as my old one died, and I still don't have my Atari 2600 MIDI interface for SynthCart, so that is not connected yet, but for the note it has been pro-sounded and fit with a guitar jack.

That aside we have my tricked out C64 with Amiga Joystick, running MSSIAH.

 Amiga 1200 with a 40Mhz 030 with 16Mb of RAM, Midi 1 MIDI device, Digital Sound Studio, internal HxC USB Floppy emulator, and 4Gb HD via CF adapter.
This will soon be upgraded to a 50Mhz 060 with 64Mb or RAM, and I'll probably order a Delfina sound card before long.

Basic MIDI capable Casio Keyboard.

 On the side and out of the picture is an old 1.3Ghz HP with 1Gb or RAM running Windows XP which I use only to run UAE the software for my HxC USB Floppy emulator. Other than that it gets no use.

O.K. I'm still wrapping my head around loading instruments, making them, naming them, etc. So I loaded the demo song and used its samples with MIDI! With 2 SID chips I have 6 Channels to play with!

So my next step. Try to figure out exactly what the manual is telling me when it comes to samples. After that I need to figure out the Audio In part of my C64 and feed the Amiga's audio output through that which is supposed to then pass through the SID chips.

Alright, I can name an instrument, select different instruments and define them, but when I go into MIDI mode, all channels sound the same regardless of the fact that I set them to 1-6.

EDIT: I was setting the channel and forgot the instruments. Got it!

Now how do I stop a sample? I.E. I have a sample that just goes on and on. I want to cut it off in the track after it plays for half a second.

Trilobyte - Yes I have two Audio Inputs on my C64, one assigned to each SID, and I meant instrument, not sample. I can't imagine using samples with only 64k or RAM! ;)

Karlos - That worked, also I sent you a PM about previous help you sent to me.

Vegas - I was going to keep my stock C64 and add a second SID chip. The one I was going to sell, was the one I had custom built. Sadly the guy who did the MOD kind of vanished on me so I have this great and expensive gear with little knowledge on how to take advantage of it's extra tweaks. Most of those knobs don't seem to do anything, like the MSSIAH knobs.

I never had a clue what they do exactly or how to make use of them. Does MSSIAH have something built in that caters to that?
