Emar : because the more i read the more i hear the sound quality is much better in the genesis 2, and i dont know if there are vast differences in the sound processing between the two, but, as i wiki, i see they are very similar

little-scale : Ahh, nice, a model 1. Why would you need to sweat bullets?
at August 3rd 2008, 02:39 AM
Emar : 1, and i see that you might be running off of the z80 so i shall sweat bullets and hope it works

little-scale : Mr. Zongrs, you simply must pick up those genesises (genesy?). How much are they going for at your second hand shop?

Mr. Zongrs : badass. now maybe i will have a better reason to buy all the genesises at the local pawnshops. there's a butt ton of 'em.

Chip Champion : awesome u gonna post some pics?

little-scale : There are 128 MIDI Continuous Controllers per channel in MIDI. The Mega Drive has six voices in total. Anyway, there is not a clear-cut, direct association between MIDI CC mapping and Mega Drive because a register on the Mega Drive may in fact control more than one parameter, or a parameter may be controlled by more than one register.

kidgamma : i'm kinda dumb, aren't there only 127 midi cc's available? do you have it accepting on multiple channels?
at August 1st 2008, 10:18 PM
little-scale : All 283 registers are controllable via MIDI.
at August 1st 2008, 10:11 PM
kidgamma : right but i meant more like what parameters are controllable?
at August 1st 2008, 10:08 PM
little-scale : I made the interface. It takes MIDI data from a MIDI source such as a computer or a keyboard. This data is then sent to the Mega Drive / Genesis (in this case a Genesis, but of course either will do it). The Sega then plays the sound. This process occurs in real time.

kidgamma : awesome man, can you tell me more (assuming you built the interface yourself, impressed)
