If it starts with “Check Sum Error”, it’s gotta be good! This bug happens after using this MIDI interface for a long time. If I disconnect and reconnect it, it’s fine for several more hours, but I decided to record this trippy-sounding playback of this MIDI of mine. My favourite part is where the text at the end gets converted to a jingle bell.
Here’s how it sounds when played correctly.
I decided to record how my “JUMPING!!” MIDI sounds when played in this state, too! This time, we have “No DRUM SET” _and_ “Check Sum Error” – this must be twice as good! Actually, it’s not.
…And here’s how this one sounds when played correctly.
The synth is the Roland SC-88Pro, and the interface is a Roland Quad-Capture. I’m having to use an old driver (1.0.1) because the latest one is incompatible with a bad USB3 driver for my laptop. The bug might be fixed in later versions. The MIDI sequencer software is the wonderful Sekaiju.
