Yes I'm still working on Fastfingers. We have had sickness in my family and it has slowed me down, but I'm working on a MIDI interface. The reason I came here today is that I am disappointed in the C128. I thought that I could put all of my SOURCE CODE together in one large file and compile it on th...

This is a MIDI lead synth. Midi output from the C64 is easy but that wasn't my intent. MIDI IN ONLY. This is set up so now you can play all of those great FastFingers sounds using any MIDI keyboard....and hopefully you won't need a 1541 either...I'm still working on that part.

I'm nearly done my C64 MIDI interface and here is PREVIEW demo. I'll be showing it off in Toronto on Sat Dec 7 as well.

DON'T BUY THIS CONNECTOR for c64 expansion port It may look like a 24 pin connector, but the top and bottom pins are shorted together. I know. I'm stuck with 20 of these. I bought them for my new MIDI interface. Shipping and "return charges" will apply so I'm holding on to these. http://ww...

Today I began BASIC MIDI routines with the C64 Expansion Port Sentech/Passport type MIDI interface, mostly to check my MIDI interface and also to re-familiarize myself with the MIDI commands. I was able to get my Kawai K3 to play a slew of notes which I sent to it by way of a fornext loop. So the MI...

Lightshow for C64 Fastfingers.

March 20 2011 Ok. Today I have created a whole new FREQUENCY table which will make Fastfingers even more IN TUNE, but everyone will also get the original frequency table because this may change the sounds somewhat. I haven't heard it yet but theoretically it should be more in tune. I'm getting this ...

I have have had this opened back up TWICE since you posted the "fix". This post will help anyone willing to put their C64 or C128 "under the knife" What worked for me in the end was that I piggybacked 2 6581 SIDS on top of each other. Pin 27 (Audio out) no longer touches the circ...

There's a way to remove the noise from the SID: http://www.bigmech.com/misc/c64mods/noisereduction.html So I must do surgery again? I spent 2 hours yesterday trying to get the shielded cable "just right" in the C128 case. I have never utilized the SID INPUT ,so I guess that I can just sho...

Just an update.

I'm currently recording Fastfingers sounds to the Korg Kaossilator. It is difficult to get the hum out, but I wired the SID chip DIRECTLY to a new RCA plug on the outside of my C128. Next I will unplug the wires that run to the display.
