1422.0. "MIDI CHANNELS" by MASALA::RBLAIR (Rod Blair) Wed Mar 22 1995 15:48

    Hi,
    	Does anyone know or have experience of using the Modem port to get
    an extra 16 MIDI channels? I've got an easy circuit diagram of how to
    do it but could do with some advice on sequencer setup e.t.c.

1422.1Modem Midi ...FAILTE::ROBSONBSat Mar 25 1995 13:3127
    Hi Rod,
    
       I have 'Modem Midi' which I bought from Club Cubase UK,
    but I have never used it as I decided that I would rather
    keep with 16 midi channels since I wanted to retain
    'compatibility' in the midifiles I did so that they would
    play back on 'standard' setups.
       I believe your circuit diagram will probably be the
    same circuitry that is in the 'Modem Midi' adapter (which
    plugs into the modem port and gives an additional 16 channels)
    - if so, the setup requirements may be the same:
    
    With Steinberg Cubase, a version 3.xx of MROS is required,
    and the ExPort driver. Install by entering the MROS folder
    and ensuring that the ExPort driver appears as EXPORT.DRV
    Viewing the output for each part in 'Cubase', select 'Xport 1'
    to access the modem midi port.
    
    With C-Lab Creator or Notator, the modem midi port is accessed
    via. Midi Port B within the sequencer. There is also a C-Lab
    utility program called 'Director' which I understand is Public
    Domain, and lets you configure all Midi output to Port B. This
    may be required for certain System Exclusive dumps within the
    sequence.

1422.4It's Easy !!!!!PAKORA::RBLAIRRod BlairFri Apr 07 1995 15:1213
    Hi,
    	I got the pinout diagram from the Future Music magazine. It's very
    basic really. 
    
    1) Solder terminals 4 and 5 in the MIDI plug to terminals 2 and 7,
    respetively, on the modem connector.
    
    	That's it! I got the connectors, wires etc in a local shop for 3.50
    (UK pounds). I saw the said item in the same magazine for #12.95!!!! 
    	If you need more help or you want me to post you the details,
    please reply.
