just one question: I would add sync24 in and out permanently in my C64 and 4 pots. Should I install some switchs to switch off pots and sync24?

If you want to use them with the Midi-Interface, then you really need switches for all sources.
If not, then this question is offtopic and more something for the S24-64/Pot Area.

My question (I emailed this too but I thought it would be better here)..... is it being shipped securely i.e. recorded delivery? As in the UK just now our postal system is in chaos and I *really* don't want this to "go missing".....

Standard shipping is without any tracking / recorded delivery. For that shipping will be more expensive. Please use the comment fields for that and to ask how much it'll be then.

well I already paid so I can't do that (taras here), but I can send some more. i don't imagine it would be much, i've sent stuff recorded to europe before and it wasn't too much..  thanks!

You can activate glide via the MOD-Wheel permanently or via the Pitch-Bend temporary.
Actually i don't want to put glide in, when playing a new note before releasing the old. But it might be a nice add on feature i am thinking of. Question is, how to activate/deactivate it. The Mod-Wheel is already used.

It's possible to upgrade the firmware on the MIDI-interface, right? Maybe there could be an alternative firmware that works like I suggested? Then those who want it could use the alternative firmware.

Or maybe its activation could be assigned on some, uh, MIDI CC or something(*)? Unfortunately I don't know the workings of P64 or the MIDI-interface very clearly when it comes to their MIDI-implementation.

Here I am just requesting & requesting more features when I should say "finally MIDI for C64 - great work!!"

Anyways, please at least consider my idea. I'll buy the interface with 99% propability anyways, since it works exactly how I like anyways when it is sequenced. It's just that I'm also a keyboard player, and I dig the so-called "single-triggering" on some analog synths.

(*) Somehow that sentence feels like saying "have you checked the microchips?" to somebody who's repairing a computer

Yes, it is possible to upgrade the firmware. I will think about this and when i find some time i will implement it.
But just a hint: You shouldn't wait too long getting the interface, else it'll be only tech talking instead of using it! Availability is limited!

OK, sounds great, thanks! Maybe in the alternative firmware the mod-wheel would activate the single-triggering mode or something?

I've been busy so I missed the first patch of the interface. Also much to my horror I noticed that the Prophet64 itself has sold out. Luckily my friend sold his cartridge to me for 50 euros today (I wonder if this was the first deal ever on an used Prophet64 with an inflated price;). I'll definetely buy the MIDI-interface when it is available again.

What about a simple Program/Instrument change? That would be easy to implement and Program 2 is for cool glide live playing.

The first run was €85. You also need a Prophet64 cart (€32) and a mouse (either a 1351 mouse if you don't have a MIDI interface, or a serial mouse if you do)...

So now my Midi Interface has arrived and after a little struggle it works at its best now. But now I have a few questions:
1. What for can the additional mouse be used and where to plug it to, as now that the midi-interface it connected to joy1+2 there is no place left.
2. Has anyone a solution how to midi-out with a sx-64? the power cord and the midi-out are quite the same place.

Thanx in advance and many thanx to the great firestarter.
btw how many midi-interfaces were produced in the first run or does this question damage your privacy?

1st: Since the Mouse only works for the Sequencer but Pots are not at all usable in Prophet64 sequencer, just unplug the Joystick-Cable and plug your mouse in the joystickport.

2nd: Good Question. I will check on my SX tomorrow about that. As far as i remember, it was fine with mine.

...And yes, it damages my privacy

here's a question - reading through the guide about different Modes, is it not possible to have Sequencer record incoming MIDI notes in the Piano Roll page while being MIDI-sync'd to an external DAW/sequencer? looks like it'll either accept incoming MIDI notes or MIDI sync, but not both at the same time?

ie - i'd like to sync Sequencer to my DAW/etc and have it record incoming notes while perfectly sync'd. is this possible? does MIDI-sync still work while in Sequencer/Keyboard Mode #4. how about a combo of Modes 1 and 4?



EDIT/UPDATE: shit, i just realized this won't work at all. in Mode 4 it looks like the MIDI note-ons are converted to Sync-24 data which are then converted to note data when you switch to 'Sync24-C64 Keyboard' mode in Sequencer? so, no possible way to feed MIDI notes from a DAW, etc into Sequencer while they're sync'd via MIDI. damn, this was a big selling point thinking that it could do this. just a limitation of the software i guess. oh well, still a fantastic device, works great so far otherwise!
