Description

The MIDI-PAC is a MIDI interface cartridge developed by WORP3 (Tjeerd Veenstra) in 2010. It can redirect PSG and MSX-MUSIC musics to MIDI in real time. The built-in ROM does not include BASIC out of the box, it contents a modified FM BIOS, making the cartridge detectable as MSX-MUSIC cartridge. Adding BASIC can be done by adding a correct BASIC ROM.

Instead of outputting audio directly, it will output MIDI data from its built-in connector. When the MIDI-PAC is connected using the supplied cable to a MIDI synthesizer or sound module, all of the MSX music will play through the MIDI device.

There are thee versions, v1 and v2 seem the same thing supporting different chips.
