MT32-Pi on my EuroRack MiniDexed PCB

This is great. I was asked by Michel (mragutlich) if I knew how to build MT32-Pi to configure it for my MiniDexed EuroRack PCB but I don't and there isn't a lot of information apparently on how to build it from source. So I offered my Rebuilding my Ability to Build MiniDexed post which talks about … Continue reading MT32-Pi on my EuroRack MiniDexed PCB →

There is a lot of dynamic nuance in the original, but unfortunately the Lo-Fi Orchestra doesn't really do nuance, it is mostly "on" or … Continue reading Lo-Fi Orchestra – Saturn from The Planets →

MT32 Clumsy MIDI Program Changer and Filter
