| 2480.1 | RE. to programing a MPU401 | ESKIMO::FOSSETT | | Thu Nov 01 1990 19:53 | 18 |
| Hi
I've placed some info in the note conference MIDI programming
in C. Music Quest has a MIDI programers tool kit for just about
all of the popular programming languages including Turbo Assembler
and MicroSoft Macro Assembler. Sounds like what you need to do
is write a hardware specific driver to avoid having to use port
330 which seems to be widely used port. Most of the routines in
this kit are half way compiled routines. Like .OBJs I'm not
a hundred percent sure that this will solve interface requirements
but it will get you in the right direction. I have also placed Music
Quest's address and phone number in this conference. Maybe give
them a call and tell them what you hope to do. I believe that this
programmers tool kit is for any 100% compatible MPU401 but again
I'm not a hundred percent sure.

You might want to grab
TLE::PPP$:[GRIEB.PUBLIC]MPU401.ARC
which has routines callable from C that handle interrupts on a 401.

| 2480.3 | MIDI programming in C conference? | TOOK::TITCHENER | | Tue Nov 13 1990 11:55 | 4 |
| Re .1, is there a notes conference that deals with midi programming in C? And
if so, where's it located (it's not among those listed in replies to note 4...)?
Thanks, TT.

| 2480.4 | MPU-401 spec? | HIDELB::WFIELD | | Tue Feb 26 1991 13:39 | 8 |
| This seems like a good place to ask this question. I just recently purchased
an MPU-401 clone, and the manual that came with the card does not have any
information on programming. I have looked at the MPU-401 code examples that
are on the network, does anyone know of any documentation that actually
describes the operating modes of the MPU-401, and provides register
definitions (what bits do what).

| 2480.5 | maybe you already know about this, but | LNGBCH::STEWART | Sounds dangerous: count me in! | Tue Feb 26 1991 18:26 | 14 |
|
Music Quest sells a programmer's kit that provides a nice little
device driver interface. Super cheap, too: $30.

| 2480.6 | I'll check it out | HIDELB::WFIELD | | Wed Feb 27 1991 12:23 | 7 |
| I'll check into the Music Quest kit. For $30 it seems hard to go wrong. I
purchased the CMS interface, and it seems to work fine, but I
expected to receive some kind of technical reference manual with it, no
such luck.
Thanks

| Roland's MPU-401 Programmer's Reference Manual should be available
at any Roland dealer for around $10, but as it is written in
Rolandish, it is very difficult understand.

| Somewhere else in this conference, there is discussion about a book called
something like "Midi programming in C". This contains a C source for a
sequencer, as I recall.
