Short:    A SAVE TriplePlay MIDI-Interface for Bars&Pipes
Author:   Alfred Faust
Uploader: alfred.j.faust@gmx.de (Alfred Faust)
Type:     hard/hack
Replaces: TP3.lha and TP3Addenum.lha
Requires: Bars&Pipes, know-how to build electronics



A further developed version of my TriplePlay2-Projekt.

Because in the TriplePlay2-projekt  are  12V  at  the  outputs,  I  have  mainly
reworked the circuitry.

Now there is a translation between the RS232-logic (+12V/-12V) and the TTL-logic
(+5V/0V) with the circuit MAX238.

So this projekt is real SAVE for the connected standard MIDI-hardware  (with  IN
-THRU  -  OUT)  AND for MIDI-hardware that have no optocouplers at the IN , only
TTL-input,  like  the  DB-50XG-wavetable-card   from   YAMAHA   (that   are   no
stand-alone-devices,  like  wavetablecards  for  the  use as daughterboards with
PC-soundcards - for AMIGA always hardware-hacks).

The TriplePlay MIDI-Interface  allowes  to  use  up  to  48  MIDI-channels  with
Bars&Pipes.

Here is exactly explained how to build this MIDI-Interface.

It comes with:

  -PCB as #?.gif-, and postscript-file.
  -a #?.gif-file that showes the components
  -a #?.gif-file that showes the circuitry-plan
  -a guide-file with explaination
  -the three Triple-Play-Tools for use with Bars&Pipes

Ver. 3.1 only a little Addenum and rework of the files
