I know it doesn't do an especially good job, but does anyone know where I
can d/l the musicx-to-midi app that came with MusicX, or any other Amiga or
Windoze program that would do the same job? My Amiga recently died,
probably for the last time, and I managed to salvage my MusicX files before
it did-- but now there's not a lot I can do with them unless I can get them
into standard midi format. I do have WinUAE on my Windoze box, though, so I
could use musicx-to-midi on that to do the conversion, if I could find it.

Alternatively, is MusicX itself available in ADF or DMS format anywhere, so
I could run the app itself in WinUAE?

Cheeri,
Calum.

Hi! If you haven't obtained this yet, I could always e-mail it to you
if you want. (Or the dms of music-x if you want the whole package.)
Music-X runs fine in WinUAE (but much better on my A3000 :-) )

I suppose the next question is WHICH MIDI-X?

I have the original here, but there was a version that was made available
for OS 2.0.

I had tried the convertor before, but I can't remember how well it worked.
I'm currently trying to obtain the MIDI interfaces for my A500 again.
I got a hold of Synthia (softsynth) for the Amiga. Want to play...

One of you mentioned that it works fine in WinUAE. Haven't tried it myself,
but I know the original version crashed a lot on my A500 because there was a
MIDI timing issue where they didn't lock down only one of the two system
clocks, and occasionally both would respond at the same time.

Other than that I loved using MIDI-X. I used the sampling section quite a
bit for drums, SFX, etc.

Hi Rob,

The MX2Midi converters works reasonably fine, although the most
recent version does a much better job. At least with the midi
options of SMF. Music-X specific commands are mostly ignored.

I have used some "SoftSynth" programs years ago, but you need
a real powerful Amiga and good samples to get a decent sound.
A better idea is to get hold of a secondhand Yamaha DB50XG
wavetable daughterboard. On the internet are quite a few
schematics to realize an apropriate (serial-) interface, that's
what I did. This does not need a powerful system either.

Best regards,
Willem
