How to connect Miracle Keyboard to X1000 (or x5000)

I have a Miracle Keyboard which I used on classic amigas.
Kids learned to play piano (smile)

I would like to attach and use this keyboard on my X1000
I assume this means I have to find a usb to midi device?

Any tested to work?

Michael

Any USB to MIDI device that does not require "special" software should work. We have had "class compatible" USB to MIDI driver for a long while now.
The driver supports any CAMD aware programs.

@LyleHaze

Thanks for the basic info!
I checked on line and there are so many adaptors to guess from..

Any more hints to a name that has been tested working?

Thanks in advance,

Michael

Sorry no, but order off Amazon and return if no good?

@ddni

Not my style..but thanks

Sorry for the late reply. The network filters at work are not friendly with this site.
I looked over the popular shopping website, and if a 6 foot lead is long enough, I can recommend the "U2 MIDI Pro" from CME. While I cannot clain "tested", it clearly states "Class Compatible", and it's a reputable company to work with. Cost is about $20.

The big interface I wrote the driver on is no longer available, and wirth eight ins and eight outs, I have enough open ports that I have not needed to buy new MIDI interfaces for a while. Also, much newer equipment is direct to USB, so they just plug in.

Of course, the "extra" software with the interface won't run on Amiga, but I suspect CamdTools can do all that and more for you.

About the "Miracle Keyboard".. If it is the Amiga version, the software will only see the keyboard if it uses camd.library. I don't know the software well enough to tell.

Let me know how things work out!

@LyleHaze
Many Thanks! Just what I needed, a name
I don't know CME from adam. but it's nice to hear it (CME) is a name that works.

My Amiga Miracle is neat. It has a serial plug cable that came with it and it also has mini input/output connectors as well

I pulled out my old amiga midi controller. It still works!

When I receive a usb to midi in about a week, I'll report back.

Thanks again

BTW, what happened to SCORE?

Score is .. stalled.
I have LOTS of excuses. I've been really busy, I've had a major heart attack, I've been caring for my wife as she recovers from stage 3C cancer, I've had two changes of employment. and I'm exhausted 95% of the time.

My Amiga work for a while shifted from MIDI work to the Audio driver for Tabor/A1222(+). It was working great for me but refused to work for most other people, I spent two years trying to figure that out. Turns out that MY board was "to specification", but almost all others were shipped with 4G of RAM, and kickstart was not configured correctly. I had no way to figure this out until I was loaned another board. It only took a few weeks from there to at least figure out what was wrong. Steve worked hard on getting that right for me.

RIGHT NOW I am not doing any more drivers. I AM working on CAMD tools (all weekend, Happy Fathers Day!) I still poke around in Score occasionally, and I am working on a CAMD recorder that would be a great bit of code to add in to Score.

And I HAVE to mention, my wife got me a most interesting MIDI toy today, look up "AeroBand PocketDrum 2 MAX", better yet search it in YouTube.
I've not even connected it yet, but it will definitely make the MIDI recorder a lot of fun to play with.

SO, Score is still a private project, and progress is too slow to describe.
Best estimate: "Two More Weeks".. (sorry, I couldn't resist)

@LyleHaze

HOLY CRAP!! You take it easy and all the best to your wife!! Also Happy Fathers Day too!
