Just solder on another link cable and see what happens? Haven't dealt much with the arduinoboy outside of mGB.

There are two ways of doing this. I was talking with trash80 a month back about it.

You can put another link cable in parallel with the first but you will need modified mGB roms that know to accept midi data on channels 6 and up. The roma are floating around somewhere. This would let you have 3 at the same time with channels 1-5, 6-10, and 11-15

Another option, and what I decided on, was to rewrite the arduinoboy code to send out channels 6-10 on A3-A5 on the arduino. The you can have the regular mGB rom and it will work fine on link cable.

midi channel 5 is polyphonic. it plays wav/pu1/pu2 together so you could play triads

i live in washington state with my girlfriend, my dog, and her two cats. during the day i do i wide range of engineering analysis for various nuclear power plants. then i come home, play with my dog and write some tunes and watch tv with the girl

Crazy how big the difference between the two models is!

Pretty cool find! I'm sure a lot of us have some interesting old computer/music books

What errors are you getting? Are you sure it's being recognized by your computer and that it's even receiving code to begin with?

Pretty sure if you snatch up a model 1 with the high definition graphics sticker you should be good with respect to board rev.

sounds like a good idea. i definitely want to get in on this and waiting around seeing people not submit is killing me

I was having a similar thing happen. Stopped when I switched to external power with the DMG. My batteries were very low on it and it was doing funky stuff

And now we play the waiting game...I think I'll just sit on my stoop till this come in the mail

yo trash, would there be a way to stack these and get like, 4 channels out of one unit?

This is what my question was getting at. Would it cost 70 for each channel we wanted or is there a way to use one midi top for multiple boards and just use different midi channels

Ah, so we are looking at probably $70ish to create one. That PWM sounds so good.

So is this single channel monophonic?

Sooo we can controll it with just midi CCs? Who do I give my money to, because I'm just waving it around in the air right now.
