I’ve had the privilege of getting access to trash80‘s mGB code, which of course has given me the opportunity to make improvements. My first improvement is to add support for extended MIDI channels. (1-5,6-10 or 11-15 depending on which ROM you’re using.) This is useful for people who want to use mGB on the same MIDI output as MIDINES, other synths or perhaps use 3 copies of mGB simultaneously with one Arduinoboy. (With three link cable plugs).

In a future hacked version I’ll include the ability to choose which channels to use in the program, and also make mGB play nicer with LSDj. (Not corrupting savs and so on)

    Hey, i have a question regarding your mgb version with multiple channels, the problem i have: the 6-10 and 11-15 wont work at all, the 1-5 works fine, but as soon as i send something on channel 6 7 8 or something like that it will effect the 1-5 channels, wich renders using my c64 at the same time useless :)

    Actually, I’ve discovered that these versions don’t work properly at all. The 6-10 version should work if you’re only using channels 6-10 for example, however sending data to any other channels will crash/corrupt the program sooner or later. So these versions don’t do what they’re promising. I’m sorry for this oversight…

    Hi, Is there any chance of fixing the CC bugs in this version and releasing a corrected version for channels 6-10 / 11-15? Thanks.
