"A Line Out-recording of the Ultimate CPC MIDI Card - Eye in the Sky.
The X2GS sounds super smooth and offers the best sound quality - you can get one from Serdashop: https://www.serdashop.com/X2GS

here is another update from the Ultimate MIDI Card project for the Amstrad CPC!

By now, I have a Python .MID file converter so that I can create MIDI songs for the Ultimate MIDI card on the PC / Mac. Previously, I was recording the complete song .MID MIDI stream in realtime with the CPC. The MIDI message stream was created with a MID file player such as MIDIBAR running on the PC, and then simple fed into the CPC via a USB-2-DIN MIDI cable. For complex multi-track and highly polyphonic MIDI, this was a bit at the limit of what the CPC and BluePill microcontroller can handle, and thus sometimes resulted in dropped or hangind notes for complex MIDI. Hence, a more stable solution was required - the Python-based converter.

Here is a demo of complex converted .MID song played back from CPC memory. Most CPC-users have 512 KBs of extended RAM memory available - the DK'tronics 512 KB RAM expansion is a "standard" even for contemporary CPC RAM expansions. My CPC "converted .MID" player supports 512 KBs of RAM - this is large enough to fit this ~ 96 KBs large BIN song into memory; enjoy the smooth sound of the X2GS sound module plugged into the S2-compatible header at the back of the card."
