How do you compose on a Game
Boy? With exactly the same programs and
environment MusyXprovides
for other platforms: A slave program running
on the PC communicates with the MusyX
editor and a Game Boy slave running on Game
Boy Color. It also constantly receives MIDI
data from a connected MIDI keyboard or the
virtual MIDI keyboard in the MusyX
editor.
To do this you will need to connect a standard
Game Boy Color running the slave program
to the PC, via a supplied customized link
cable. This cable plugs into the link port
of Game Boy Color and any available printer
port of the PC.
The slave receives data from the MusyX
editor using a network connection known
as TCP/IP. This virtually enables any machine
in your Local Area Network or even any machine
on the globe, to serve as your sound slave.
If you are planning to use the same machine
to run both the slave and the editor, you
still need to have TCP/IP installed and
have both the editor and the slave refer
to the same IP address.
To experience the possibilities of MusyX,
