STEREO: MSX-MUSIC and MSX-AUDIO
Required: amplifier Auctions Some MSX-MUSLCs and computers and all MSX-AUDIOs have a tulip output so that the sound can be easily connected to an amplifier. This therefore gives (almost) no problems. The rest of the MSX-MUSICs send their signal only to the computer and can best be captured via the monitor connector. Information about this can be found everywhere, but we refer you to the MSX-Club Belgie / Nederland Magazine no. 38 of November 1991, p. 76 and 77 for extended information on all monitor connectors. Note: if, for example, the MSX-AUDIO signal is transmitted via the tulip to an amplifier and the MSX-MUSIC via the computer, the signal from some MSX-AUDIOs (eg the music module) will also be transmitted. So you hear two signals, that of the MSX-MUSIC and the MSX-AUDIO. One solution is to tap pin 49 of the MSX-AUDIO cartridge with an adhesive tape, so that the MSX-AUDIO sound signal is no longer transmitted to the computer. Look for the location of pin 49 in the manual of your computer. (Note: Sunrise Foundation is not liable for any damage to your MSX-AUDIO or Music Module due to improper performance of these instructions.) We advise you to place the MSX-MUSIC signal on the left and the MSX-AUDIO signal on the right (e, but of course this is for the user to determine.
