Wow! Just to make sure, will a TI-Nspire with 84+ keypad still work?

Especially can't wait to mess around with those drum and user sample systems!

Unfortunately it won't work with a Nspire, you'll need an actual 8x. They only cost like 10-15 bucks on ebay though. There's a ton of different models though, so check in the HT2 manual if the one you're looking at is supported or not.

This is too good! Need to get on this stat.

Is it possible to make this transferrable via audio? I don't have the USB cable unfortunately.

Thanks everybody!

@_-_- You could build a "$5" parallel or "$4" serial link cable. Especially the parallel cable involves very few parts, so even someone as completely inept at soldering like me can do it wink

It's a great project! Another powerful engine designed by Irrlichtproject.

You can get a "greylink" usb cable for under 15€ on ebay, search for "USB transfer cable/link calculator Texas Instrument TI 83, TI 83plus, TI89" (the only annoying thing is they are quite short in length)
