Hi, I was wondering if anyone has hooked up a Midi device to a Sgi Workstation. I have an EPS-16 Plus Digital Sampling Workstation that I would like to send Midi Code to from a SGI 340 VGX. In particular, I need to know if I can simply send the Midi bytes down the stream to the device. Secondly, is there a 9 pin to 5 pin connector that will allow me to hook up the two Thanks Rich -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard B.

For the Indigo you need to buy a standard Macintosh serial port to MIDI converter box available from most musical instrument stores and many computer stores. For the 340 VGX, you will need a special rs232 to MIDI converter box called the Midiator made by Key Electronics, 7515 Chapel Avenue, Fort Worth, TX 76116. Telephone 1 800 533 MIDI. Call them for the name of your nearest dealer. If you want absoolutely precise timing to within a couple of milliseconds, you may have some trouble unless you dedicate a processor to feeding MIDI. We ship a special MIDI streams driver, that provides the required accuracy even on single processor systems, as part of the Digital Media Development option. Unfortunately it is currently only available for the Indigo. -Mark
