OK, sorry for returning to this so late, but I didn't have the opportunity
to confirm the manufacturer of the MIDI retrofit until now. It was made by
Spider Room. The only information I have on the kit online is essentially a
parts list and schematic copied and pasted from this web page
http://www.angelfire.com/geek/srlabs/p6retro.htmlThere was a note on the paperwork stating the current MIDI channel is set
to 9, but even when set to that channel, it doesn't seem to be receiving
MIDI messages. Can anyone help with instructions for how to use this Spider
Room retrofit properly?
Thanks in advance!
