385.0. "$50 MIDI interface" by ALAGSH::BOTTOM_DAVID () Wed Jun 11 1986 10:15

    Does anybody know what company makes the legendary $50m MIDI interface
    for the C-64? I remember reading about one in this notefile, probably
    in one of the MIDI discussions.
    
    I cannot find one. 

    not passprt ($129)
    not hybrid arts ($199)
    not syntec ($199)
    not wersi ($199)
    
    I believe the $50 price tag was one of the great benifits of MIDI????    

                                                   
    so where is it?

385.1If I can be of helpCANYON::BABCOCKWed Jun 11 1986 15:3911
    If you are interested I have a C64 and can get you construction
    information plus sample software for a MIDI interface.  The basic
    on the C64 is to slow to do much of any use, but will at least allow
    you to begin to learn what is happening out there on the MIDI
    interface.  To get real time capabilities you have to program the
    C64 in machine language.
    
    There is a glitch also on the C64 when using the C64 basic and some
    MIDI interfaces which gives you unpredictable results.  I blew a
    lot of time and money to realize it.
    
385.2Check Dr. T's?OZONE::DAVISThu Jun 12 1986 09:486
    I'm not sure of the exact price, but I believe Dr. T's makes an
    inexpensive MIDI interface for the C-64 . The company is located
    in Waltham MA and most of the larger music stores in Boston carry
    some of their software.
