Music-X and the A600
3 messages in this thread
Does anyone have a solution to a problem using Music-X v1.1b and the Amiga
600HD40? Problem 1: Plays back ok, but misses events when recording (gets
errors) Problem 2: Won't play back system exclusive data.
Mike,
I had the "missed events when recording" problem too on both my A500 and
A2000. The only solution was to put an accelerator board into my A2000.
I spoke once with David Joiner, the author of Music-X, about it, and a
faster Amiga was the only solution he had as well. Apparently, the
problem doesn't happen on all machines, but when it happens on your
machine, there isn't much that can be done about it, unfortunately.
Have you tried entering some system exclusive data manually and seeing if
it will play back? The problem may be that you're missing events when
recording the SYSEX data, if that's how you're getting it into the
program. I don't work with SYSEX in Music-X, so I can't give you a report
based on my experience. I can tell you that others have also reported
problems using it, though.
Supposedly, they are working on an upgrade to Music-X, but I don't know
any projected date when it will be available.

Mike,
The system exclusive transmit/receive is broken in Music-X 1.1b. 🙁
The original (v1.0) sysex worked pretty well but the bottom fell out with
1.1b. That version of Music-X gives you a choice of which timer to use, if
it's set to A, try B or vice-versa. Changing the timer is one of the
recommended procedures if you're getting a lot of record errors, at least
it's worth a try.
