Building a Bigger, Badder MIDI Mountain

Let's assemble a MIDI RackMountain! The idea is the same as the first MIDI Mountain: combine a bunch of MIDI synths together to make a mountain of musical goodness. But instead of just stacking it all up, this time it's going in an 8U rack-mount case! Plus a few upgrades, like a rack-mounted Roland MT-32, an 8-channel mixer and MIDI thru box, a clicky power strip, and more vintage General MIDI modules. Also a stupid equalizer, ha.

For those asking about my main synth setup and what I make with it, there are a number of brief videos on Twitter showing that in action! twitter.com/lazygamereviews/status/1348468340776427520 I'll probably have an LGR video on it eventually though 👍

On the subject of the MT32 being on channel 2, that's an easy fix: Use the following procedure to change the default receive channels of the MT-32 from channels 2-9 and 10 to channels 1-8 and 10: 1) While holding down MASTER VOLUME, press PART 5. 2) Press PART 1. You might consider picking up a used Behringer DEQ2496 in place of that disappointing equalizer. That will give you a legitimate graphic equalizer and lots of fun flashing lights/buttons to play with. They're not that expensive and would provide what you're looking for. The only challenge would be that the analog input is only balanced XLR but there are ways to go from single ended audio to balanced.

I had to comment once you said "I know some commenters say they don't like MIDI" lol. I remember in my youth, when MIDI was big, I found it extremely frustrating when I wanted to find an authentic song but instead got the MIDI version of it. Because of this, I grew a resentment toward it for many years...until you came along. Suddenly, I have a new found respect for it and it hits the nostalgia vibes for sure. I don't mind MIDI when it comes to games, just not the knock off music of actual songs (if that makes sense). Anyway, I can certainly understand why you have a love for MIDI - and thank you for changing my mind about it after all this time. I still think it sounds lousy in comparison to actual instruments being played, but it's still cool nonetheless.

Love the midi videos! For cable management, it's recommended you separate power from audio.

Another method are some rack bars that go across horizontally that mount like the units themselves.

I find that the General MIDI devices stop sounding old and really start sounding modern when you have at least 3 of them playing at once. When you have less, they sound dated but still oddly good.

Also music is be a really personal thing and it might just be that the dude is not one of those that needs. likes, wants or dares to put out for the world to hear. Which I understand if that's the case.

Anyone who doesn't appreciate this labor of love is either too young to appreciate or too ill informed to understand how significantly convenient it is to have a single behemoth of a MIDI rack that can playback multiple formats of MIDI music by the turn of dials or by bay flicks of switches to enjoy. These individual external MIDI devices were EXPENSIVE back in the day and you were lucky if you could afford even generic solutions that imitated their sounds that were built into store bought PC setups back in the day one at a time...which were also expensive despite the generic price tag. All of these sounds that people find out of taste today will make a major comeback in years to come...mark my words 😇🧐

Who doesn't like midi!? There is a live quality to it that is so much more *living* then simple recordings, even if it's just a softsynth (Granted there are fantastic soundfonts available these days). Certainly is fun, I'm jealous, a portable rack like that is such a fantastic idea.
