EcholoT Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Hello ! sorry for my english beforehands, salut to all russian midiboxersIs there way to connect an ISA or PCI soundcard with built-in General Midi soundsdirect to MIDI keyboard ?It could be good start-up idea, because SID or FM midiboxes quiet difficult for beginners.Maybe there exist another simplest MIDIbox projects ?

stryd_one Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Hi Echolot :)It would be possible to connect ISA soundcards (this has been mentioned many years ago), but the connection would not really be so much more simple than a SID. If you want a simple project to get started, you might consider making something like MIDIMon or ClockBox :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 The simplest solution for controlling an old ISA or PCI card would be just to get an old PC and plug it in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcholoT Posted October 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 thnx stryd_one. MidiMon really looks like easy thing to build,as for soundcard - I thought just to connect 12v :'(Jaicen, you R genius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBunsen Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 There are projects around the web to make Waveblaster daughtercards into stand alone MIDI sound modules. You might be interested in doing one of them. Or once you're more familiar with MIOS and the MBHP, making a MIDIbox version.Or stick the words "waveblaster" or "isa" into the search box here to see previous research on this topic.There's certainly a lot more to interfacing a PIC to an ISA card than connecting it to 12V. There are examples where people have used ISA ethernet cards with PICs which a bit of Googling should turn up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
