  1. It includes a floppy for the software that runs a program in which you can trigger notes through MIDI. The hardware includes all of the ports, and it connects to the C64 by a ribbon cable and a cartridge. It's boxed up right now so I can't look, but it includes at least a MIDI out and a few drum trigger ports. The trigger ports are the coolest thing on there, because I believe they can be used to trigger practically anything on an analog synthesizer. They were built for a mixture of music composition and drum sequencing. The manual is thicker than a bible, but I spent a handful of hours sorting through the basic functions. I was even able to sync it to my drum machine and midi sequencer. Hope some of this answers your question!
  2. Hello, I am selling a practically brand-new looking Moog Song Producer module for the Commodore 64 including the box, manual, and original documentation. Others floating around the internet as of late have been listed as untested but in good physical condition; however, I have personally tested this item with my C64 and my modular synthesizer and it does work! A little hard to use, but it does work great. For information about this product, check here (http://c64music.blog...g-producer.html). PM me if you are interested. Thanks!
  3. I'm using eBay because I trust eBay and their buyer / seller protection. I am using AtariAge to widen the audience of the item. Feel free to move this thread if it needs to be moved.
  4. On eBay: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F130844901387%3FssPageName%3DSTRK%3AMESELX%3AIT%26_trksid%3Dp3984.m1586.l2649 From the 8bitventures website: The MSSIAH is a MIDI cartridge for the Commodore 64. It contains a suite of music applications that starts instantly as you insert the cartridge and start up the computer. With these applications you can play the C64's audio circuit (SID) via MIDI or stand-alone with the internal sequencers. MSSIAH is short for MIDI SID Software Integrated Applications and Hardware and means that the cartridge contains both software and hardware to midify the C64. Since they are integrated you won't need hard-to-get MIDI peripherals to hook it up to your synthesizer or sequencer. Just plug in a MIDI cable and off you go! With no doubt, the MSSIAH is the cheapest way for you to bring MIDI to your Commodore 64! However, cheap does not mean less.. MSSIAH is loaded with features that will make the old C64 an irreplaceable tool in your modern recording studio!
  5. Congrats! Flea markets are so great. Everybody gets what they want!
  6. Yeah I chose 8bit because of saving space. As for the other settings, I don't really know if it would make a difference, but I read someone's blog who was attempting something similar to this and they used those settings. I'll test out some other settings.
  7. Hello all, this is my first post here. I have recently required a couple of TI-99 4a's and have been very excited about learning BASIC. Unfortunately I did not have a cassette program recorder, so I came up with a quick way of saving programs for later use. I have seen some hints of this on the internet but haven't really seen any definite documentation. Hopefully this helps some people! I am using a Macbook Pro. You will need: a TI-99/4a a computer with Audacity (free software) or other audio software installed a TI-99 cassette cable (or use this guide to make your own) To save to computer: 1. Hook up only the red and white wires. White wire goes to headphone jack, red to microphone jack. The other plug goes into the back of the TI-99. You don't need the black wire. 2. Open up Audacity. Go under Preferences and make sure it will record the file as an 8bit mono .WAV file, 44100 Hz. 3. Turn up Audacity and computer microphone input and audio output to maximum. 4. When ready to save your TI-99 program, type in SAVE CS1 and follow the directions. 5. Hit record on Audacity right before hitting enter to record on the TI-99. The stopping point isn't too important. You can trim it later. 6. You should see pretty much nothing in the waveform viewer. That is because it recorded so softly, but its there. Delete the first 1/2 second of the .WAV now. 7. Select the entire .WAV now. Go to Effect>Amplify and keep amplifying it until you can see the waveform clearly and it is clipping (when there is blue everywhere). Don't be afraid, clip it! Not sure about the precise dB amount. 8. Delete everything up to about 2 seconds before the sound begins. 9. Save it as .WAV! Listen to it on your iPod if you're a real 99er. To load into TI-99: 1. Hook up all of the wires again (see step 1 above.) 2. Open your program's .WAV in Audacity, or even iTunes! Make sure the output volume is way up. 3. Type in OLD CS1 into the TI-99 and follow the directions. 4. Hit play on your computer right after hitting play on the 99. 5. You will hear some sounds coming from the TI-99. That's good. 6. When it is complete, type in LIST and your program should be there! Although I have just put this together today, I imagine that you could have a folder in your computer of short mono .WAV files instead of clunky old cassettes or disks taking up space under the kitchen table. It would be easy to send these .WAVs to others over the internet for easy transfer. If this has been done or documented before, then I'll feel silly for "discovering" this! But I do hope it helps. Later! And let me know if there are any problems.
