A feature fawned over by every Atari ST owner, mainly because most Commodore Amiga computers never came with MIDI-ports built into it (Yes, I know the Commodore CDTV was a later exception). Personally I never missed them as I was not lucky enough to have been born with a sense of rhythm, which is apparently a requirement for being allowed to purchase music equipment. A few years ago I decided that I needed a Roland MT-32, but with prices the way they are I wasn't able to get very far. So I started building a set of PCBs for MT32-PI instead, these became the BulkyMIDI-32. Now all that was missing was the MIDI ports, so a simple RS-232 to MIDI adapter was thrown together so that I could have some way of of plugging a MIDI-cable into my Commodore Amiga 500 though it should also work with 500+/600/1200/2000/3000/4000. As using MIDI with Amiga isn't the easiest thing I've tried to figure out, I added a simple guide for getting started with using these devices on the Amiga computers as well.Can be used with a real Roland MT-32 as well as other MT32-PI builds, but it was specifically tested with the BulkyMIDI-32. As I like to have a bit of cable with adapters, this variant was designed to be used with available 26-pin IDC to female DB25 cables. I've also shared a version of the design where a standard right-angle PCB-mounted female DB25 can be used instead.
