This is really a shame. When I talked to henry homesweet in rio he was in the same situation - waiting for so long. Such a great piece of hard/software and no one can get this. I wish low-gain and little-scale could start building and selling midi devices for nes. Now that I'm using mssiah on my set, it would be really great to have midines also. Real shame sad

I tried the d64's included on the software. None of them worked sad

(sorry for the depressing topic title - I'm just a john carpenter fan)

well, maybe egr or someone can help me with this one:

my c64tpc arrived some days ago and today I finally had the chance to test it. No good.

At first, I tried my luck and tested it on a windows xp running under mac parallels (yeah, I know, the chances are working are low, but what the hell, my GB transfer works good on parallels so I gave it a shot). For my surprise, c64tpc connected perfectly, using windows COM3 port and the virtual drive also connected (c64tpc green led was on). But when I tried to load the .prg inside the d64 in the commodore, the c64tpc disconnected all of a sudden (message: "not connected. please select and connect to a serial port from toolbar"). Tried time and again and it didn't work.

okay, so I figured out it was a parallels issue and tested it on a "real" PC running windows XP. Again, it didn't work. It was even worse than parallels test, because in PC the damn c64tpc virtual drive wouldn't even connect. The green led wouldn't turn on, only the two yellow leds (indicating no virtual drive was connected). But, in the PC, the COM1 port wouldn't disconnect like the COM3 port in parallels.

I also configured the port setup like the c64tpc manual says (data bits:8, baud:19200, etc). Didn't work.

Anyone can send me some light on this problem? I'm gonna also write to Ahmet, but he takes some time to write back and I'm in the heat of seeing this thing working :s

hi folks!

Yesterday I finally started building an arduinoboy with a friend who already built some stuff with arduino, but we´re having a hard time with this one.

We followed the Trash80´s schematics at google code, built it with a protoboard, but here what happens: when arduinoboy is powered on, the leds blink and then the second yellow led (left to right) keeps turned on. So, I send midi clock from ableton live to arduino and all the leds start blinking (one after one, non-stop) and the dmg with LSDJ keeps synching and de-synching (the LSDJ screens keeps showing, "wait"-"synch"-"wait"-"synch").

The good thing is (I think), midi clock is being received by the arduino. Looks like it´s a communication problem between arduino and the dmg. Tonight I´ll check all the wires again and see if it´s not some bad contact issue. But if this happened to anyone and someone could help me in advance, it´d be beautiful.

thanks!

wasn't for final cut, I would be using PC untill today. fuck apple.

hey bitpop, thanks. smile

but you see, in that video above, the guy is sending pattern notes from ableton to bassline.

I'll check out monosynth later and see if it works there. thanks for your time, and this cubase sx panel is just great.

I'm only doing this to be nice, in future, please do some searching yourself. It really didn't take me long to find these things.

I did some searching @ mssiah/prophet64 foruns and, as I said, I only read bassline and mssiah intro manuals so far. But really, if the manual "does offer a few suggestions", why didn't you tell me what are these suggestions instead of putting an youtube video just to prove what I already know -- and just can't find the way to do it?

hi folks,

My mssiah cartridge (finally) got here yesterday. Still hadn't the time to read all manuals, only bassline. I'm putting mssiah slaved to ableton live via MIDI. Although I can send midi clock from ableton to mssiah bassline, I can't get it to play the pattern notes I write on ableton. I tried mssiah in both midi notes and midi pattern settings. Anybody has any clue what I'm doing wrong?

thanks!

chipmusic isn't that cheap here in brazil, dmg's for example are everytime harder to find, and they cost about  40-50 dollars.

of course, sometimes you get lucky and find some guy who donates his useless game boy to you.

anyway, all of my gear was bought selling drugs in rio favelas from 2004-2006. now I'm done with that.
