You have to host it somewhere. I use imageshack - it's free!

I know someone who has one of those. What is it though, you need a Commodore 64 or some other old computer to use it? I seem to remember seeing pics of that thing with a 5¼" floppy disk, presumably holding the necessary software...

here it is, anyone know much about it??

i have one if anyone wants to buy it.

what is it!

Do you have a better view of the schematic on top?

Here you go:

A super-rare Moog Song Producer MIDI and Trigger interface for the Commodore 64, with sequencing and MIDI-processing software. The Moog Song Producer boasts:

· 1 MIDI in

· 1 MIDI thru

· 4 (!) MIDI outs

· 8 drum trigger outs

· 2 Footswitch ins

· 1 Clock/sync in

· 1 Clock/sync out

Wow! That means the Song Producer’s capable of interfacing your MIDI and pre-MIDI gear. What’s most amazing about this package, though, is that it’s mint in box. Just check out the photos. It comes complete, with:

· Song Producer hardware interface

· Connection cable (it plugs into the Commodore 64’s expansion port)

· Ring-bound manual with software disk

· Original warranty card

· Technical service information leaflet (includes schematic, picture of circuit-board layout and complete parts-list)

· Quick-start/introductory guide

· Service-locations poster/leaflet

· Original quality-control slip (yes, it passed!)

In its condition (immaculate), the Moog Song Producer simply makes a great piece of memorabilia (as one person said: “I cannot imagine anything with a higher coolness factor: Something for the Commodore 64 with the Moog logo.”), but I used it with its supplied software. Perhaps most excitingly, though, is the possibility that – with the detailed technical information included – a competent C64 programmer could use it to control the C64’s SID chip through MIDI, as it just runs on a stock Commodore with a stock interface (the cartridge – ‘expansion’ – port).

I have one of these. Mine's also mint in the box, never used. Maybe we got them from the same place? If anyone's interested, I'd consider a sale or trade.

What sequencing programs were there for the C64? I have Software Automatic Mouth that I use on my C64 for studio use. It's an excellent speech synthesis program complete with voice inflexion and pitch considering it's from 1979.
