midiori is a new MIDI card for the Sharp X68000. It uses the same chip as the official Sharp MIDI card (CZ-6BM1), and so is compatible with all games that also support that MIDI card.
It supports MIDI In/Out/Thru, via either full size MIDI connectors (which block the neighboring slot), or 3.5mm TRS MIDI connectors (adapters are widely available). It also features selectable IRQ and port, so you can install two! The tape interface from the CZ-6BM1 has been dropped, as no software used it.
The prototype is pictured. I plan to sell final version boards with either type of connector for ~$75+shipping in a few weeks.
The design is open source and available at: https://github.com/tdaede/midiori
You can build one yourself, but you'll need to find a source for the YM3802-X.
This looks excellent. I’m in the market for a midi board and this looks ideal. Great project!
That's nice indeed, count me in as interested party as well!
Also interested, amazing job!
Mmm, is that $75 for a fully built board that is working out of the box, or just for the PCB only? If the later I need some help building the thing :)
And would the bigger MIDI connectors also conflict with a 4MB memory board, or only with other boards that have connectors on the back as well?
That's for a fully working card. I'm happy to do bare PCB or some other combination if desired, though.
Unfortunately even with the shortest DIN connectors I could find, it just barely interferes with the second card. It might be possible to fit by cutting or grinding the connector down, I suppose. Other options included making the board stick out with a "chin", and adding a sub-board to lower the connectors a bit, but it doesn't feel like either is worth the complexity.
P.S. I haven't ordered the v1.1 batch yet so any last minute suggestions are welcome.
Take my money :)
@TD-Linux I was working on this exact same project, but as a Through-hole design. I finished laying out the schematic in KiCAD a week or so ago, and I was just about to start on the PCB design.
Since you have done the "hard part" of sizing the PCB and the edge connector, I may just modify your design to through hole instead of re-inventing the wheel.
Out of curiosity, what are all of the wires on your original photo? I assume that they are various bodges, but are those fixes already accounted for in your design on github?
Does anyone have a link for where to purchase the MIDI IC? I had a search and didn't find them.
Thanks,
Mark.
I typed YM3802-X into ebay and it looks like there is one person selling them for around $25 USD from China. I don't know if it's guaranteed to work and the price seems high but it's something...
Thanks, I had been using ebay.co.uk with world search selected. I wasn't seeing anything.
If I use ebay.com I get your hit!

Unfortunately, that sounds about right. I ordered a couple of Alibaba a few months ago, and they worked out to about $21 shipped each for 3 of them. Tack on some eBay fees, and $25 seems about the same. That was the cheapest source I could find at the time.

I just pushed the fixed version today, pull it again (it'll be 1.1 of the board).
To make a through hole version you should just be able to change all the chip packages and re-layout the board. I used smt packages because they are faster for me to assemble.

That is about what they cost me as well. For a future version I'd like to copy the functionality of the chip onto a FPGA. I had to make at least one original chip board though, as I don't have any real MIDI board for reference :)
I finished up going through the schematics connection-by-connection, and I found the missing data lines, as well as the changes made replacing the 74S133 and 74S260.
I underestimated the size difference between the SOP and DIP parts, the layout is much less.. clean.. for sure.

Power was also connected for U3 (by placing the subpart) and the physical dimensions of the card were changed slightly (top and bottom board outlines moved down 1mm, edge connector sits 1mm less deep, edge connector footprint moved down 0.5mm). Silkscreen labels for midi connections were also corrected.
OK, I got 10 cards in. If you are interested, please PM me what you'd like and I'll send you an invoice (paypal or bitcoin ok). Cost is:
midiori v1.1 with TRS jacks - $75
midiori v1.1 with DIN jacks (blocks neighboring slot!) - $75
TRS to female DIN adapter - $8 ea
US shipping - $7
Rest of world shipping - $12
All boards are assembled and include a socketed YM3802-X chip. Most users will only need one adapter, the IN and THRU ports are mostly useful if you want to do sequencing on your x68k. The adapters are standard MIDI TRS adapters (Korg/Akai type).
I will include 3d printed ejection ears and a back plate.
EDIT: as of 2019-03-15 I got more cards... and am sold out again!

Now i need to hunt down a sound module :)

Sent a PM as well.
As to a sound module, if you're in the US check out reverb.com from time to time. That's where I snagged my MT-32 for a good price.
Amazing! PM on the way
I'd like some advise on these sound modules.
The MT32 is pretty rare and pricey, but according to the FAQ has better sound.
The SC55 which I see a lot in pictures, is cheaper and easier to find, but has "emulated" sound. How "bad" is that? Is it still significantly better than the native sound of the X68000?
I also possibly want to use the sound module with my Amigas (ScummVM) and maybe old PC.
The SC-55 is newer and uses wavetable synthesis (recordings stored in a ROM), so it has better sound. It also uses the General Midi instrument set. The MT-32 uses "LA synthesis" which uses a bunch of programmable parameters to make a sound. It has a unique default instrument set.
Games designed for MT-32 will sound wrong on the SC-55 unless you start it in compatibility mode, which loads a bunch of recordings of a real MT-32 to emulate its instrument set. If a game used custom parameters though, it still won't sound correct. The most prominent examples of this are LucasArts games.
Games designed for SC-55 will sound wrong on MT-32. There's a patch you can load into the MT-32 to make it more General Midi-ish, which helps.
Most of the games I've tried are SC-55 only or support both, so I'd recommend the SC-55. Many also use the native x68k sound at the same time, so you'll want to route the x68k line out into the SC-55's built in mixer.
I am also interesting in one if you have any left :) Sending PM
Thanks for the info TD-linux.
Guess if I was quick enough to show interest in a board I'll first try with this: https://github.com/dwhinham/mt32-pi
If Munt sounds fine, I can hunt down an SC55 and keep the Pi as MT/CM32.
Thanks man
Hope I was fast enough

Any idea when you expect to be able to ship the cards TD-Linux?
I've shipped all the DIN ones, I've just started shipping the TRS ones because I was waiting on more TRS to DIN adapters.
Damn I was too slow... have any cards left?
Not at the moment, but I've already ordered more. I'll shoot you a PM when they are ready.
Awesome TD-Linux, looking forward to it!
PM Sent!! :)
Yay, the card arrived today! Looks really good. Thanks so very much @TD-Linux! Unfortunately I only have time next week earliest and still need a USB to midi adapter or need to build in my old terratec DMX6fire in my PC to first try this with the MT32 emulator on my PC :)
Mine has arrived too! I will try it on Monday morning with my MT32 :)
I've run my supplier out of YM3802-X's. I'm looking for more, but haven't found a good source in quantity yet. I'm also working on the midiori v2.0, which will be FPGA based and not need the chip at all, in case I can't get more chips at reasonable prices.
The midiori has been installed and works great! Thanks TD-Linux!
When the midi card is operating does the line-out of the 68k still work for sound effects, like the internal speaker does?
Yes. Some games use both FM and MIDI at the same time. If you have a SC-55 or similar with an internal mixer, you can run the line-out of your X68000 to the line-in of the SC-55 and hear both through headphones/speakers plugged in to the SC-55.
Any news on the new batch?
Hello,
i got mine today.. Thank you very much.. BUT the Card won`t fit into the Slot of my Expert.. :/ I can push as hard as i want.. the card does not slip into the connection in the X68000 .. :/

Can you take a picture inside the expansion bay? You may need to wiggle it up and down a bit. Also keep in mind that the slots are *very* stiff if they haven't been used before.
Installed my card today (needed some force, and used the supplied cover to push the card in). Tried it only with Ghouls & Ghosts and Munt (MT 32 / CM 32 emulator) on my PC, but yes it works and it's really awesome!!!
Next step is try the SC55 emulator :)

great job Spud!!!! I have been waitng for mine and I'd like to do the same on my laptop and use it as a synthetizer!!! if you have any suggestion and/or links for the emulation of the above mentioned synth, please let me know through pm :)
Ps: which midi to usb adapter did you use? any good link on amazon?
So far I have only tested MT/CM 32 emulation. It all worked pretty much out of the box really.
MIDI interface I use: TIE MIDI 1i1o USB MIDI-interface
But your best bet is always go for the Roland USB-MIDI interface (at least that's what I'm told :) ), especially if you wanna do more with MIDI and music creation.
CM/MT 32 emulation: MUNT: free at https://sourceforge.net/projects/munt/ You do need to source your own ROM files for it though.
SC-55 emulation: https://www.roland.com/nl/products/sound_canvas_va/ Paid software (free trial i believe), still have to try this one

Thank you Spud for your prompt reply,...what do you mean with "source your own ROM files"? I simply want to plug the midiori board from my X68K to my pc and the load a software, both ones you mentioned I think would work.....So to play o my real Hardware Sharp Pro II and then enjoy the midi sound for each enhanced game!!
P.S: for the midi to usb adapter I have thought about this cheap but very good one: https://www.amazon.com/Converter-Interface-Indicator-Processing-Electric/dp/B07FP5M9BF/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_3_sspa?keywords=Asmuse%E2%84%A2+MIDI+To+USB&qid=1553518076&s=gateway&sr=8-3-fkmrnull-spons&psc=1
With source your ROMs I mean:
The MUNT software does not come with the Roland MT/CM 32 firmware, but is needed for the emulator to work. This firmware is still copyright material of Roland. So formally you'll need to grab it from a real MT/CM 32 you own. If you don't have such a device, you'll have to be "creative" :)

;) ;)....wise words!!!
Update, also tried Roland Sound Canvas VA SC-55 emulation software (with Geograph Seal). This worked fine as well.
I also used some info on this forum to get Bahnwelt working with Munt (MT-32) and also that went smoothly, and was actually quite an enjoyable soundtrack.
However it confirms my opinion I had back in the nineties about this midi music. I'm a fan of electronic music (synth pop, industrial, ebm), so I love hearing sounds that cannot be produced by traditional instruments. I'm not a fan of electronically reproduced music with traditional instruments by means of synthesizers. So I'm pretty happy with my setup now and will keep using the SC-55 and MT-32 emulation and cannot justify for myself spending cash on real Roland hardware. But hey that's just my personal opinion, no judgment whatsoever of people who do have an awesome X68000+MIDI setup. I'm actually very happy I can have a (near real) X68000 MIDI experience thanks to the midiori and these software tools for a lot cheaper.
I agree with you man since I think it is a good experience all the same through emulation and my set up is pretty good as well having my laptop close to my Pro II X68000 ready to be connected with.....
I have just received my Midi Board and soon I'll test it with the canvas program....
cheers
Just FYI for anyone but the emulated MIDI modules in Windows or whatever introduce so much latency that they are unusable for games that use both internal and external sound for music. MUNT has specific issues in some games, notably Dracula, where it gets swamped and the music lags.
thanks neko68k for your precious opinion, I'll take it into consideration when I test all games and their concerning latency. Hope it will not alter them much just in case I'll consider to get a Synth by one of my friends who might sell his at a reasonable price around 100$......
Thanks neko68k.
Haven't really played many games yet. When I encounter lag indeed and consider it to be too annoying I guess I still have to go look for real devices after all.
Update:
I spend some time with Dracula, both in MT-32 and SC-55 mode. Apart from some slight difference in instruments sounds with the real thing I checked in youtube videos I couldn't hear anything really wrong using Munt and Sound Canvas emulation (on a relatively powerful Win10 machine). I checked the sound test screen with those level meters and played some of the songs. I could not really hear/see any noticeable delay/latency. During gameplay music changed almost instantly when dying etc.
So, so far, still no reason for me to go look for real hardwarde :)
Well, MUNT can only emulate CM-32L. Nothing emulates the 32P. So the CM-64 games still need the real deal.
Also the lag issue is with ganes that mix FM with MIDI. Parodiusda, Etoile Princesse, Choujin, etc.
Hello SuperDeadite,
thanks for your suggestion too, Just to go for the real hardware which one is the most compatible with all games? Would Roland Sound Canvas SC-55 be a good choice though?
Cheers
Best all in one unit is the CM-500. But it doesn't support the 32P Expansion cards, and is really expensive these days.
A CM-64 and SC-88 combo will make you very happy and run everything but a few oddities.
Personally I prefer Yamaha for GM, but everyone has different ears.
I see mate, a guy could give me a roland SC-55 at a reasonable price, it might worth getting it as for the other models I haven't found anything yet....what about?
Cheers
I would like one of these cards please.
I would like one of the midi cards !!!! thanks

Yes, I have extra stock of everything but the chip, so if more chips do appear at sane prices I will do more.
I am also working on version without the chip, which I can produce in unlimited quantities.
Would you be willing to sell just the pieces you do have minus the ym3802-x?
Yes, drop $20 from the price, with the large caveat that it will be untested.
Thanks @TD-Linux for designing this board, it works great.
I've found another source for the ICs - they should be here by the end of the week. I have no idea if they will work though...
I've also been working on a FPGA based version of the card, which can be found in the fpga branch of the repository. I'm looking for a few testers of this card who can reflash new bitstreams onto a SPI flash.

There is no jtag. You need to be able to program SPI flash.
Unfortunately, my batch of chips from a different seller was also fake :( So no more cards until I finish the FPGA version.
Any comments about the physical fit of v1.1? I sized it rather conservatively, and could make some small tweaks before ordering v2.1.
The only thing I can think of is the connector. It needed an extreme amount of force to get fitted, so maybe make them a little pointy (don't know the proper english word for it).

1.6mm. Do you know how thick the official boards are?
I already get beveled edges... I've considered doing a V-shaped edge connector like some x68k cards have, but I think my board house would kill me if I attempted to have that beveled.

I believe the official spec is 1.5mm, but I cannot find my source for that at the moment. I find that 1.2mm thickness is still a good fit and is MUCH easier to insert than 1.6mm.
And making it bevelled will indeed help as well I think!
Now everyone has midi cards, is there a midi file player? :)
Quote from: vanpeebles on June 25, 2019, 08:16:10 PMNow everyone has midi cards, is there a midi file player? :)
I use MCDRV and MCDISP (https://nfggames.com/X68000/index.php/Mirrors/Groundzero%20Organization/x68tools/music/mcdrv/). There are definitely other options but I haven't explored them.
There are also quite a few ZMusic songs that are MIDI or contain MIDI and FM. There's a bunch of RCP MIDI data floating around too.
No, i don't have a midi card yet.
Is it possible to order this or the other?
A DIY Kit avaiable?
I have a board all soldered up and populated except for the YM3802-X chip! AAGGHH!! Been waiting for months to locate a reliable source for 1 chip, I ended up buying an original MIDI board from YAJ. :(
That kind of projects are fantastic,bring new life to this machines.
I have the new v2.1 hardware ready, I'm still working on the gateware to improve compatibility. A compatibility list is here: https://github.com/tdaede/midiori/blob/master/docs/GAMES.md
Interested in one of these if you have anymore for sale.
I would also be interested in one when they are available! :)
Maybe for some I'm continuing the blasphemy :) But now I turned my Raspberry Pi 3 in a Roland Sound module (emulator) running Munt and Q/FluidSynth for MT32 & GM respectively. Very acceptable for my requirements and much more compact than a PC :) I also have a Hifiberry DAC+ADC GPIO hat so I run the SoundFX in the Pi too which mixes it together with the midi music.

Version 2 is finally ready! Due to the reduced part count (and no RX functionality) it's cheaper than the previous version.
midiori v2.1.0 with TRS jacks - $55
midiori v2.1.0 with DIN jacks - $55
TRS to female DIN adapter - $8
US shipping - $8
Rest of world shipping - $14
This version is FPGA based, which means I'm no longer limited by the availability of YM3802-X chips. This also means that the functionality is re-implemented from scratch, and may not be perfect. Make sure to read the README (https://github.com/tdaede/midiori) which describes the limitations of this card. Also read the compatibility list (https://github.com/tdaede/midiori/blob/master/docs/GAMES.md) - I cannot guarantee operation with games not on this list.
All boards are assembled and programmed. The FPGA is not intended to be user programmable or upgradeable, though adventurous users with a SPI flash programmer can!
The DIN version now uses a cut-down connector, that allows it to (barely) fit with a second card. The included backplate is still 2 slots wide, though.
I will include 3d printed ejection ears and a back plate.
To order, PM me with your preferred payment method (paypal or bitcoin), your country, and what you would like to order.

PM'ed too! :)
Hi, new owner of a x68000 Pro and I was interested in one of your MIDI cards, but from your latest commits on Github it looks like you're working on 2.2 release with mini DIN ports and some other tweaks.
Any idea when you will be looking at producing a batch for sale?
I wanted to give a quick update on this. As you may have seen, Midiori is now available at BEEP:
https://www.beep-shop.com/ec/products/detail/2529
This is an updated version that features a mini-DIN connector and adapter in the box.
I still plan to sell them on the forum as well, however I am currently super backlogged. I'm working on increasing my production rate so I can have a stock on hand rather than building them as I ship as I've done previously.

Hello. I am a new X68K Expert owner. I contacted BEEP, and they said Midiori is no longer in stock. I would like to purchase one - what is the best way to do so? Thank you!
Hello,
I would like to purchase one Midiori too.
Is it still available?
Thank you
Hi I would also like to purchase one of these if the board works with the X68000 Compact
Does anyone with MIDIORI 2.1 or 2.2 uses MT32-pi? I built the MIDIORI myself, it plays MIDI in some games, but I also get the "Unexp. MIDI status!" message on display and I am not sure if it is normal or some problem with my build.

Also on the lookout for a Midori board. Pmed you too :)
Is there any more runs of this board?
I purchased a Midiori with a mini-DIN output, but the seller didn't include a cable/adapter. I'm thinking of just modifying a full-sized 5-pin DIN cable to have 5-pin mini-DIN on one end. Am I correct in assuming the wiring would just be PIN 1 DIN to PIN 1 mini-DIN, and etc?
Is there any more runs of this board? Can I have one?
I relise the last post for the v1.1 card was 2019, but are these still avaible or would I have to download the pcb data and build one myself?

I recently built a Midiori 1.1 (and 2.2) for myself and the YM3802-X which at the core of the 1.1 is hard to find and/or not cheap.
