I don't how many, if any users here have dealt with musical keyboards and old Macs, but I'll try anyways.
I've recently acquired a Mac Classic (40 meg HD, 4 megs RAM), and I recently changed the battery in my Yamaha DX-7IIFd keyboard so that it's workable again. Together, the old Mac and the DX-7 are great together as I can load the patches from my DX to the Mac, edit them, and they automatically change on the keyboard so that I can hear what the changes sound like. And, of course, save my changes in the Mac, on the keyboard, or both.
Well, that was until the Classic's motherboard capacitors decided to leak out and cause a big stink, every time I turned the Mac on.
So, I changed all the capacitors and I can't get things back to the way they were. I can send data from the Dx to the Mac (using either serial port), but I can't get data from the Mac to the DX.
???
Does anybody have a old copy (like from 1985) of Opcode midiMac patch editor that I could try.. or
Does anybody have any experience like this.
