Q: about Midi software on A1000/A500 Amiga's

[golem]

Sorry you couldn't find these files.
If you are interested in an efficient Shell player then search Aminet for B5MIDI.
The Bars`n`Pipes tool is actually an accessory (sorry my bad). It is on Alfred's site http://www.hansfaust.de/barsnpipes/download/sMerFF3_3.lha

I always liked Dr. T's TigerCub for midi on Amigas...I also had their more powerful version of it but cant remember the name!

Okay, so I downloaded and installed Deluxe Music 2.0, but cannot get the MIDI function to work. Set it to 'active', but no sound. Is there a midi.device I'm missing that needs to be put in the Devs:Midi drawer? I notice when you install DM, it asks what kind of Midi device you have out of ONLY 2 choices. I've selected both and they both drop icons in Devs:Midi, but neither work.

My Midi device is a ECE box hooked through the serial port...

If you want to go to the next level, get a MIDI Sampler.

I have a Akai S3000XL and it works great with my OctaMED setup.  You can get one now for about a £100 now so it`s cheaper than a Zorro sound card.  It has stereo outs plus 8 individual outs, so if you put it through a desk you`ve got 10 channels to mix live.  They were £1800 when they came out in 97.

See my previous posts.

Yeah, I'm having a blast with this stuff. Thanks for the info. I've got a music room of sorts and
now the Amiga is officially part of it! lol Midi sounds soooo professional through my keyboard,
but as nice as my Casio is (hammered & pressure sensitive keys, Grand, Baby Grand, strings,
harpsichord, electric piano, etc.), it's not a full fledged synthesiser. Very limited in what
instruments it plays.
 
Have it hooked through a Peavy amp with a nice set of speakers. Can easily play my
drums to the music and I love not having to contend with the sound of studio percussion,
vocals, etc.

See you got me haning on your music room wall

Indeed, I'm a HUGE Keith Moon fan and I like Animal just as well!

I won that little guy shooting cans at a 4H fair here in town a couple
years ago. Couldn't believe they had Animal! Decked out in the Pirates
theme for the Disney franchise, but still... :-)

You also need to set your instruments to a MIDI channel under "Set Instrument...", which I think is a separate window from the "MIDI Active" checkbox.

Think of Devs:Midi like Devs:Monitors or Devs:AHI. The contents don't do anything unless the correct hardware is present. So if I pull my CV3D card out of the machine, my CVision3D driver will still be "running", but as far as the screenmode database is concerned, it's not there.

There is no midi.device, just MIDI devices that go in Devs:Midi. If your box connects to the serial port, use the built-in serial driver. The Checkpoint and OneStopMusicShop drivers are analogous to CVision3D and Delfina.audio - if you don't have the hardware, they don't do anything.
