Yes, good idea. I will try to do that. But don't hold you breath

Quote from: spud on March 24, 2019, 10:11:18 AMInstalled 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

Hey man just a tip....At last I'm trying this midi card and I'm doing the same you did but I do not know why I'm stuck....maybe I'm too tired now.....I have just plugged the midi card into my X68K and then connected the out to a usb-midi in to my laptop, now I have munt mt-32 emulator running on my win 7 64 bit and the led on the usb-midi connector is  flashing once I choose the Music test on Dracula with the option mt-32 at the start-up.....so it means it is receiveing data and inputs from the game but.....I cannot hear any sound on my laptop that has a very good sound system with stereo/dolby surround speakers.....where am I supposed to make a mistake?  maybe it is a silly one but I'm not able to solve .....

thanks in advance

EDIT: I got it working finally......and it works great for me!! Tried just Dracula and Twinbee ....!!

OK, sorry, see your question only now. Great you have it working. In the mean time I'm using a raspberry pi as MT32 emulator.

very good....Did you see my last post?.could you help me out with an error just popped up......it seems that I cannot run capcom games anymore.....if you have time just answer there on the post..
many thanks

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 which describes the limitations of this card. Also read the compatibility list - 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.

PMd

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.

Are you still making these? PM'Ed you

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?

Many thanks,

A.

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.

Hi all, this weekend I built a Midiori ver 1.1. I tested it on my x68K computer but it wasn't detected. Do I need to program anything to the components? I wonder if it's because some components not soldered properly or I used the incorrect components. I attached list of components that I used. The capacitor value that I used was 0.1uF (I assumed u1 is 0.1uF). Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

The part list looks good to me, but only did a quick comparison with an old order from Mouser.
There is nothing to program. If I remember correctly there are two jumpers to set for address and interrupt.
How did you test the card?

Thank you for doing the comparison. I set the JP1 to 1-2 and JP2 to open. I tested directly with my X68K computer. My other midi card SX-68M-2 worked fine but the midiori card can't be detected.

Hiker,
I was able to get my midiori card to work. I built another one. This time I soldered manually. Previously I tried with solder paste and heatgun. I'm not sure if it's due to my solder work or pcb edge connector. When I ordered the pcbs I didn't specify that I need chamfering for the edge so they came without it so I used filing tool to bevel it. The first pcb I didn't bevel equally on both front and back but the second one more equal on both sides.
I have questions:
1. When you built your card, did you change the pcb design to use mini din instead of normal din connector? I used normal din so I can't use both this card and memory expansion card. I think I'll replace it with the TRS connector.
2. How did you test the card if it functions properly?
3. I set my JP2 to Short instead of Open. What did you set it to? What is this for? Based on
SX-68M II midi card manual, it's for switching between Interrupt 4 and 2 but I don't know what it means.
