As well as project designs for a MIDI interface there was a commercial one, the M2000, as part of the Hybrid music system.

Thinking of which, the Hybrid software can act as a MIDI sequencer too.

Hi I just spotted the advert for Hybrid Music Junior! Oh wow does that bring back some excitement. I remember seeeing that advert when it came ...

The original keystrip for the Hybrid Music System is rather primitive so I have recreated it in the Acorn keystrip style, which I find more attractive and easier to read.

Dear All, Just checking if anyone has recently refurbed a Music 500 with very similar symptoms to those experienced on Retro-Kit: https://www.retro-kit.co.uk/user/custom/stardot/hybrid5000-borked-early.mp3 vs https://www.retro-kit.co.uk/user/custom/Acorn/3rdParty/Hybrid/audio/InConcert-PilgrimBeart.mp3 ...

I'll change the layout of the board, so the vestigial (in terms of the Hybrid system) Midi input is on the rear of the PCB separate from the outputs. ...

Just a quick update to this project... I have built up 5 more of my Music 5000 MIDI Input Interfaces (M5KMIDI) and they go together and work beautifully. ... recordings are here: https://soundcloud.com/hideaway-studio/sets/1984-hybrid-music-5000-synth

And once again I was greeted by some lovely Ample music courtesy of Ed's Music 5000. What a great piece of kit! I had a lovely sunny ... All good things must come to an end! Look closely and you'll see the Hybrid Music system in the background, as well as the trusty A3010! :D

Thanks for the suggestion guys. I think I may have a go with a CF card and Datacenter then.

For general use the Dat...

The last time I ran my external DC with the Hybrid, I got audio being randomly triggered when accessing the ram based drives and things got quite corrupt quite quickly but running from an ADFS ...

Would it maybe run load it to a sideways ram from your storage? Seem to remember some games liked that route.

... still seemed to fail when running from a GoSDC. Kind of makes me think that possibly then both Datacenter and the GoSDC are incompatible with the Music 5000. Pity was trying to keep my retro desk area minimal and tidy - but hey I guess there is nothing like floppies for the true rfetro experience. ...

Have just tried this with my GoSDC and the Music 5000 system disk from 8bs. I *SRLOADed the ROMs on my B and did *EXEC runner but it hung when trying to load the M5 module. The same disk image loaded and displayed the menu in B-Em. I'll try it ...

Hey no rush Rob. Anytime. :) I've tried software from each of these threads: https://stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11983&start=60#p173100 I think that one has a disk intended for the Master. I've got a BBC B with the ROM from that Zip installed. I used the M5000-4.ssd and launched it usi...

Okay will do. Will probably be tomorrow though as I'm busy trying to fix a few bugs in my CPC emulator tonight

Just to ensure I'm doing the same as you, where did you pick up the Music 5000 system disk from and how did you try to run it?

Hi Rob, I'd say I get much the same issue, yes. The disc that's loaded into the GoSDC's memory also seems to get 'corrupted' (only in RAM), once I've loaded something into Ample. It would be great if you could test it at your end? Would be nice to know if it's just an incompatibility with the GoSDC ...

... the same way - I thought it used a window in paged ROM space but I might be wrong. Do you see exactly the same behaviour with it? I could hook my Music 500 up to my GoSDC Beeb to see if it works if that would help?
