#Midi in out cable plus#

It is possible to use standard Midi cables for the Midi In and the Midi OutД¬onnection to/from the Atari. In connector there is no shield which is standard midi. It is therefore recommanded to use cable without shield connection. That a shield is connected on the Midi Out connector which is not following the midi standard. The Atari has two midi DIN5 connectors: A standard Midi In connector, and a non standard Midi Out connector that also includes the Midi thru output (this wasДone to avoid adding a third connector as specified in the standard midi) 1

This allows to have a midi thru interface without the cost of an extra connector. Note the unconventional connection of Midi Thru signals to pin 1 & 3 of the out midi connector. The Atari interfaces midi through a dedicatedД¦850 ACIA (Asynchronous Communication Interface Adapter) chip as shown on the right.

It uses asynchronous signals (8 bits plus start and stopД«its) at 31250 bauds (bit/sec). The midi interface is used to connect the Atari to electronic musical On the back panel you find connectors for a modem, printer, On the right underside contains the connectors for the Mouse & Joysticks On the left side you find connectors for the midi in and out, and a cartridge Important note: On this page the connectors pinout are always given looking at themДЇrom the front side and not from the solder side.
