MOTU Parallel MIDI interfaces under Windows 98 SE

2 min read

Why care?

Things that are special:

  • Windows 98 SE with ESS ESFM and HardSID (even better with SBLive! and Emu10k)
  • Parallel Port MIDI
  • Multi-port MIDI mergers with filtering capabilities
  • SMPTE<->MTC conversion
  • Software editors for devices with difficult or non-existent front-panel editing
  • Opcode Vision 2.5.1 on Windows(!)
  • Preservation

The famous MOTU MIDI Timepiece AV (Parallel Version)

IMHO this is not that easy to edit through the front panel, when compared to a JLC MSB+ Rev 2 or Digital Music Corp MX-8.  But some people swear by it.  I'd rather use the editor software than the front panel, hence 👆

Note the notes:

If you want the latest console and driver for your MIDI Timepiece AV, this download is all you'll need. This self-extracting file contains the latest version of the Windows console program (v1.10) and driver (v1.04) for the MIDI Timepiece AV. This update console adds Quicklock support as well as display improvements.

To properly expand the MIDI Timepiece AV Setup files you must place /d after the command to run mxpcn_se.exe . So, if the file is in a folder on the C drive called console, the command to properly expand the files would be c:\console\avcon_se.exe /d

Once you have retrieved and decompressed this download, read the README.WRI file and run SETUP.EXE.
