| Some of that stuff sounds *very* expensive for what it does. What
problem are you trying to solve? There may be cheaper alternatives.

| 2197.2 | Hinton's phone number | OPHION::WEISSMAN | | Fri Dec 08 1989 15:10 | 11 |
| After considerable research, I found out that Hinton's phone number is
44 373 51927
(From the U.S., you have to dial 011 first.)
MIDIC is the *only* commercial way I've heard of for hooking a simple
RS232 to MIDI. I'm getting one to hook up my workstation to MIDI;
I'm sure Michael is doing something similar.

| As Terry said, this is to make an RS232 to MIDI connection.
The Albuquerque group has already built a modified DHV-11
which hooks up QBUS to MIDI, but that means using a MicroVAX
II vintage machine as a peripheral to our newer 3-D graphics
workstations. This gives us another way to hook things together.
It's the MIDI interfacing, not the processing, that's the
key feature for us (and I suspect for most MIDIC users).

| 2197.5 | Got it running with the DECstation 5000/200 | KOBAL::GOOD | Michael Good | Fri Mar 29 1991 20:18 | 10 |
| I've written a couple simple programs for controlling the Roland D-5
synthesizer from a DECstation 5000 system via the Hinton Instruments
MIDIC. Nothing in there should be specific to the D-5 except the
choice of timbre.
I know a couple of other folks were playing with, or looking into
getting, Hinton boxes. If this code could be useful for folks, let me
know via mail. Note that the Hinton costs as much as a decent
synthesizer, so I would expect this to be useful only for work-related
applications which need the connection to the Unix workstation.
