There is something special when a family member asks if you would like their old CRT TV that might otherwise have gone to landfill! Even better, this one has hardly been used, picture is excellent and supports 50/60Hz as well as SCART RGB! Fabulous! #retrogaming #retroconsoles

If you've ever played Cannon Fodder, you'll be familiar with the "recruits" screen where new recruits come over the hill and get accepted. Did you know the music that plays there is a love song? It's called "Narcissus" and was written by Jon Hare in 1984. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMqO...

We spend so much of our time in social media discussing AI slop, yet pitch correction and auto tune in music has been an absolute plague for many years and I don't see it getting mentioned. This is as artificial as it gets and now most singers sound like robots hitting notes so perfectly.

There is something beautiful about being able to play SEGA Dreamcast games (many of them anyway) in 480p on a VGA monitor. It was so ahead of its time. Dead or Alive 2 still looks amazing even though it's 26 years old!

Sonic Mania on the SEGA Dreamcast, a partnership that is meant to be... Well done everyone involved!

Fantastic, I know where I'm purchasing it from! 🫠

Can you remember Winamp? It was the music player to have back in the day. There was also a plugin that that added LEDs & speakers that attached to the player. Inspired by this, my PXR MIDI Player now has these optional additions... www.pixelrefresh.com/product/pxr-... #midi #macos #retrocomputing

I've been experimenting with AI coding recently. I've wanted to build a MIDI playback app with features I want to use that take advantage of my Yamaha & Roland devices. The macOS app has been a fun journey & very informative of what's possible and indeed the pitfalls, but I have a nice usable app.

It's handy to see SysEx commands on my Yamaha MU2000 menu options so I can trigger them through an app or music composition easily. XG MIDI files can be played in a Native mode or BASIC, backwards compatible which is spot on. Fumbling through menus isn't fun, but triggering using an app is great

It's been a rather fun Xbox system link gaming day today. Also had a chance to check the clock capacitors on these two, which is THE capacitor that will itself decide to ruin your original Xbox at some point if left unchecked. #retrogaming #retroconsoles

Welcome to my MIDI family... The Roland Sound Canvas SC-88 Pro. I'm surprised how many vocal samples it has. Very distinct instrumentations really enjoying it. Sadly the SC-55 mode isn't 100%, so I'll certainly keep that around but for what it is, I'm really happy with it.

Yamaha MU2000 with DX, VL, and SG Expansion MIDI was huge in the 90s. The MIDI file used here is a 64-channel demonstration provided by Yamaha, to show the sounds of the MU2000 and the optional plugin boards when combined together. Amazingly, the file is just 61KB! youtu.be/qo2pqp_dy9g?...
