Measurements? Nope. But I have a USB Micro Lite and a serial MIDI Timepiece and the difference was pretty apparent when I compared. Maybe it depends on a number of things. And I think I heard Logic does some special timestamping stuff with Emagic USB interfaces that makes it better. But either...

Yeah, Classic isn't useful for anything more advanced than playing back a single sound file. Also, to be clear, USB MIDI is a lot better on OS X. Good enough for me, certainly.

> which is pretty much the only advantage this setup has over straight USB adapters. On OS 9 machines at least, there's a real difference in timing accuracy when using serial MIDI interfaces compared to USB. So if you're using your Macs to make music with external synthesizers, a serial MIDI...

I don't remember to what extent I've bothered you about this before, but: There once was a protocol for called SMDI for SCSI-equipped samplers (musical instruments) that allowed moving sounds between the sampler's RAM and a program on a computer. So you could record something into the sampler...

M and Max are both fabulous applications the deserve to be preserved, I'm so happy to see this work being done. Another one is Opcode Galaxy, which is an editor and librarian for hardware MIDI synths, much like Sound Diver.

Random old keyboard idea I once had: I once bolted a bit of code onto TMK where you could switch the keyboard into a "daisy chain" mode so instead of sending HID packages over USB, it would send them over the UART but prefixed with a number based n the hot key. So you'd press hotkey + 2, and...

I do have a few Dell displays that take anything, but I liked the look of this and the promise of internal expandibility (that MiSTer carrier looks swell). But lack of SoG might kill it for me. It feels a bit like it's targetted at a generation earlier, Amigas and 8-bitters.

Did anybody get one of the Checkmate monitors? They appear to be generally available now, I'm wondering how they'd work with, say, a Quadra 700. I like the look and the ability to maybe connect up a few systems. Even Haiku is pretty decent at 1280x1024.

This looks great. Hope it comes to a European reseller soon.

That is extremely impressive work. Well done!

PSUs I'd say yes: http://atxg4.com/sawtooth.html

Would it be possible to add more RAM externally? Serial (P)SRAM on a PIO?

The two-card setup I mention is one Core card that connects to the HD and interface, and one card that has just DSPs. This is the minimal setup for TDM. I think you can use the HD/interface card on its own, but then there's no software mixing. Maybe if you're recording instruments and mixing in...

Nice to have a ProTools thread again! We had one with some good info but it was unfortunately lost in a crash a few years ago. I don't personally have a Nubus ProTools setup running at this moment. I've had a few different ones: * Simple, minimal two-card TDM setup in a Quadra 700 with 882...

Yes, I suppose there's some good reason they exist!
