@@ReGZ0089 also something like the Buran MIDI module can be both a MIDI synth on for a MIDI controller to play directly, or a MIDI synth for a computer, or a standard USB MIDI I/O! Of course solely an I/O is probably cheaper, but I like multi-purpose stuff!
in regards to like 23:00 in, E-MU made synths in the 70s and 80s, and yeah, they were bought by Creative One of their synths, the E-MU Emulator II, was the synth that was used in Ferris Beulers Day Off in the scene where he's on the phone with the vomiting sounds in the background.

For your PET keyboard decals, I suggest an application fluid called Rapid TAC. It is an adhesion inhibitor that allows you time to position the stickers and gives you the ability to pull them back up without damage if you need to. You squeegee the fluid out to make it stick and the remainder will eventually evaporate resulting in a good bond. Mostly the fluid is used to applying large decals to vehicles so it comes in a spray bottle but I think you could use a cotton swab to apply it to each key. Pick the decal off the sheet by a corner with a blade or other thin tool, place on button and position, then roll your finger across it to squeeze out the fluid and any air bubbles that are under it. I used Rapid TAC to apply stripes and registration numbers to aircraft many times and swear by it.
No, it's 9 months actually. Christmas 2020 is last Christmas. You misread the card as wishing a nice retro 2020, but it's a merry retro Christmas 2020. Btw, I imagine finding a card wishing a happy 2020 in a few years' time and picture what a slew of bad memories it's going to bring!
@Adrian's Digital Basement the C64 wall mount is PLA, you can put just the 64 holding part unter running water or boil sow and will soften, then just press fit your C64, PLA will get soft around 60C
I swear it looks like Adrian is high AF on that west coast good good in his videos but he’s so cognizant of his subjects at hand that it’s unbelievable.
Not that this has any bearing on Adrian, but you’d be surprised how many engineers are able to be baked and fully functional. Some can’t even focus on the matter at hand without it, such as taking a holistic view to troubleshooting, avoiding going down pointless rabbit holes. I do think Adrian is just generally a chill guy but.. certainly being able to troubleshoot and solder and everything absolutely does not preclude the possibility.
When I have to apply a label in tight quarters, I tend to use a pair of tweezers, and to set one edge down first to get it lined up. As for prep, I’d think just going over the key tops with isopropyl alcohol and Qtips should be safe and thorough enough.
I love that Adrian does the same thing I tend to do when recording.. "I'm not going to talk anymore about this because it will be in a future video.." then proceeds to talk about the item more and more. Curious/analytical minds just can't stop :)
Um, lady, that not an "analytical mind". That's closer to being scatterbrained. It's not a terrible thing, but it's not something to brag about. It's like saying "I have trouble concentrating just like Andrian! It must be a sign of common genius". Not so much, dear.
@@squirlmy I disagree, not sure why there is a negative take on focusing on one thing, and continuing on that focus even though you know you should move on because you are recording. This is more about a behavior quirk and definitely speaks to curiosity level. I think it is a matter of how you look at it. Also, you have quite a condescending tone "dear". I am a senior software application architect with over 20 years experience. I know what level of focus, concentration, and drive it takes to succeed at being an engineer.
@@MaidenAriana Those of use who can’t concentrate well have to make do…..bashing those who can is unfortunate, but we can’t be you so we have to appreciate who we are.
@@jonnycandoI did not brag about anything or accuse anyone of being unable to concentrate. I have noticed Adrian doing that same thing many times in his wonderful videos and I was simply saying I do it too and think it is endearing for crying out loud. Cuvtixo called what I was describing as being scatterbrained and I simply disagreed with them and the way their message was written to talk down to me. It was dripping with sarcasm and meant to "put me in my place". I absolutely was not talking about anyone else not being able to concentrate. I was talking about Adrian concentrating too much after saying he was going to move on. It is just a quirky thing I happen to do as well. This whole thread of conversation has become absurd.
I purchased an Atari 800 at the BX (Base Exchange) in Okinawa Japan where I was stationed in 1981. AAFES was the operator of Air Force BX and Army PX (Post Exchange) stores. They only sold cassette decks so I ordered an 810 Atari Disk Drive from the AAFES Catalog.
When applying stickers, you can clean the surface with natural/pure soap with water, and then leave a fine spray of soapy water on the surface, then you can move the stickers around the surface, when they are in their final place, just leave it there until the water dries off, and rub away the sticky soap residues between the stickers with a damp rag. Soap is naturally adhesive when dried, so it does not usually compromise the adhesiveness of the stickers.
Yeah, as a cassette player it most probably sucks, but the form factor, the bright colors. So late 90's-early 2000's, and certainly rare. No doubt right up his alley! I almost expected a comment here by Clint himself!
@@eDoc2020 what are you referring to? Did you comment on the wrong thread? Which channel do you not watch? LGR's, Retroman's ? What does you're not watching anything have to do with anything?
Hi Adrian, I have a similar USB keyboard which is recognised by my PC as a USB midi device. I also have my Sound Canvas hooked up to the PC, so I use a little freeware app called Midi Ox which routes the keyboard midi commands through to the Sound Canvas. Works great and would likely work for your keyboard too.
The HT820! Those Motorola headphones were my first ever set of bluetooth headphones, I loved those things. I killed batteries in two sets of those. I have a large head as well, but they fit me.. which is rare for those kinds of headphones.
For the PET keys, use an exacto knife to transfer them from the paper to the PET via the very corner. BTW: I'm a UA-cam Premium Subscriber, so I hope that helps.
Hi Adrian , the M-Audio keyboard uses the usb to communicate with the pc for connecting to a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) , using a sequencer like Reaper , Cubase ,or any other midi compatible software , you can also use a standalone host software like vsc sound canvas from roland run that and select the midi in as your Usb controller and there you go it will play from the keyboard :) But you already knew that ...... Right :) Lee Keep up the good work :)
Interesting naming convention, base vs post. Come to think of it my friends who were in the US military would say about living at a posting or being based somewhere. I didn’t think much about the different wording but I think it does match to which branch they were in and which terms you just specified… neat
@@kaitlyn__L Growing up, we always called it an Army base. But at the same time, you would either say you lived on post or off post. I guess it's something that I never paid much attention to.
I'm sure 1000 people have said this already, but install the E-MU card, connect the Sound Canvas by MIDI to the E-MU with the provided adapters, then attach the M-Audio to your computer to control it. You'll need some intermediary software (most people use a 'digital audio workstation' (DAW), there's a few free and trial examples out there, like 'Reaper') but you can definitely use the keyboard to interface with the Sound Canvas and any other MIDI devices you may have!
For the M-Audio keyboard you could use a demo of ableton on the pc and it would send midi via usb. The commands you see on the keyboard are the CC id for that control and then the value it sends -127 to 127 . The E-MU sound card is also for music production and uses the ASIO audio driver that can have very low latency less than 10ms so the delay from pressing a midi key to the sound card playing the sound is as small as possible. It also has balanced inputs for instruments and pro grade digital IO. Not sure it would work on a new pc the drivers are a bit picky so perhaps windows xp would be a good choice. I used to build music production PC for a living so happy to answer any questions.
The e-mu card is probably the professional version of the SB Live/Audigy as creative used e-mu dsps on the live and audigy. Win2k/XP would be right or even 98
Oh, I had a similar behaviour as the headphones with a fitness tracker. My power bank would light it up and “charge” for 30 seconds before turning off. But it worked fine on others. So the headphones could just not be drawing enough current, given they likely charge at way less than the 500mA limit of the day. Plug ‘em into a laptop or a wall adapter for a few hours and I’d wager they still work a little bit.
As for applying the key stickers here is what you need to do. First buy 1 bottle of 90 proof vodka and a bottle Single Malt Scotch. Using a tooth brush clean the keys with the vodka. Next while the keys are drying drink the bottle of Scotch. Now apply the stickers. After drinking that much Scotch you will care if they are on straight.
On Thingiverse: Commodore 64 Wall Mount by TimmyTopHat October 25, 2017 Commodore 64 - Angle Stands by blockmind October 17, 2019 C64 wall mount by usersylvio June 05, 2020
For the keyboard stickers I would design a jig and 3d print it, something that fits the key with a square window the size of the stickers so they always fit centred.
Adrian, That Blue/Black Commodore 64C Box is an Original Canadian Marketed C64. I have one just like it. USA Marketed C64C's came in a White Box just like the USA C128's and 1541 II and 1571, and 1581 Disk Drives as well. All the later USA boxes matched. ;) Tony K. , Melbourne, Florida
I am very familiar with that audio card. It has nothing to do with the tape player. I have the 1820m version of that card, which I still use for my digital audio workstation. I believe the 0404, the 1212 and the 1820 cards all use the same drivers, which were for Windows 7, but still work for Windows 10. That card is a very high-quality card, and was fairly expensive back in the day. That card can 'emulate' the Emulator II, and there was software for that card that emulates the Proteus Synth as well. (I think I have the software for both). Those DSP chips were very powerful, and could do onboard hardware audio effects. The SYNC output, if I recall correctly, refers to audio sync timing generation, and used with SMPTE timecoding so you could use this audio card with video production. This card can be considered retro in the sense of the emulated synths, since it was one of the first personal computer setups to emulate a production hardware synth before the advent of the software VST format. Edit: Yes, there are drivers for Windows XP as well.
For that MIDI keyboard you might like something like LMMS since it's free and pretty simple. It comes with a lot of retro computer themed plugins too. There's other commercial/freeware options too that can be messed with. Then of course a whole world of commercial/paid DAWs/trackers/plugins/etc.
I have a boxed C64C doorstop with the same beige power supply. The box looks like a late 80s updated version of the original C64 breadbin box which I also have. Also, for some reason I got really lucky with my potted C64 power supplies, none of them died so far, they're all still within spec, I got a bad one once but that was bad before I got it and it's not completely potted so I could snip the original 7805 out and jam a new one between the case and the heatsink and attach it and that works a treat.
I like the new camera angle. I think it's cool if you change some of the angles every so often but keep others the same, gives the videos a fresh and interesting yet familiar look.
The headphones may charge if you leave them on for some time. If youre lucky the battery might charge slowly until it reaches a satisfactory voltage for the charger to switch to fast charge.
Yup, exactly. I observered that behaviour with a power bank I got at a charity store using my USB tester. It drew 100mA for some time then jumped to 800mA and would then supply power.
I remember those Motorola BT headphones working in consumer electronics around 2007-2008 - back in the day when most phones didn’t support A2DP and Bluetooth still didn’t sound that great even with it…they were genuinely challenging to sell at ~$150!
You can use a USB to MIDI adapter with a DAW or a MIDI router software to pass-thru the messages from M-Audio to either Sound Canvas or C64 Mssiah cartridge if you have that.
Oh sweet! I had to do an install for a customer on one of those cassette players. Probably around 2004 actually... quite late in the game if you think about it. I work and live in Utah and the goal was for the customer to be able to digitize a bunch of old LDS church talks from the late 70's and 80's. I think it worked out for them! I was just a computer tech, but they brought in the whole collection thinking that I would do all the digitzing for them. Yeah.... no. They had not paid for that type of thing... wasn't even a service we offered or where willing to do. Was just outside the scope of a computer repair shop.
@15:51 That's the mark for the Army and Air Force Exchange Service. It was "the company store" that was internal to US Army and Air Force bases abroad. There were a couple of AAFES places (also called "The Commissary") here in Panama during the US presence in the Canal Zone.
I wonder if they’re contracted-out or if they’re run directly by a government (military) arm. I’m always surprised at how lowkey socialist American military life is.
@@kaitlyn__L You can find out more here at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_%26_Air_Force_Exchange_Service - And yes, there's lots of "socialism" in American life in general. Social Security (the word's in the title), government-run schools, Universities, police, etc. - but people sometimes appear to pick and choose what they think is or isn't socialism depending on their own context or experiences.
@@VidaDigital while that’s certainly true about civilian life, such as.. the interstate system, military life seems even moreso. Such as how the essentials are provided and their paycheques can be saved or spent solely on luxuries. That’s a bit like having a microcosm society that doesn’t use money except for luxury goods. And so, depending on whether the Exchange is contracted out to the lowest bidder like the VA social security things are, or whether it’s run directly; would make the difference between a private entity selling civilian computers to the military servicepeople, or the government just directly selling consumer goods to (some of) its citizens without involving private enterprise.
@@VidaDigital yeah when I was a teenager I remember asking a friend “didn’t you just buy a new GPU 9 months ago?” and he was like “yeah but I can afford it cos I live on base” and he had to explain to me why that sentence made a lick of sense haha. I had had no idea cos in his selfies it just looked like a regular apartment, so my mental image of what “living on base” even looked like had been very incorrect.
I had those Motorola headphones back in the day. If I'm remembering right, I think you could pair them to two devices simultaneously so you could be listening to something streaming from your computer and then take a call from your phone.
Fancy new camera work, especially at 0:45, it's like an opening of a tv series or an older video game with the text on screen, I like it! You can make your own shapes from factory made gummy candy, like the bad of Harribo that melted in your car, you can gently heat up a batch and pour it in your mould. If you use powdered sugar and push in an object, the sugar can take up the shape then our the molten gummy inside the indentation. Or just use regular silicone mouls. 20:35 - that's some fine candidate for LGR Oddware! 31:05 - I had a good laugh there, you just opened a pristine brand new item but you found something about it to fix and you just fixed it :D You could try a demo of Reason with that keyboard.
Hi Adrian.... Something just hit me. Between Jan. the 7'th and 10'th next year. Then the Commodore64 will be 40 years old. Personally I can not wait to see how people will celebrate it's 40'th birthday. Hopefully there will be stories from the engineers that were involved and other people who have shaped the C64 through the years.
Wow! You're right! I'd not thought about that... and there I was, working in a small family-owned computer store here in the UK back then, and the excitement around the release of the C64 was HUGE!! We couldn't keep them in stock when they released!! It's a shame that the Commodore of those days isn't around now to celebrate.... Hopefully there will be many online celebrations for this at-the-time 'revolutionary' machine! :-)
@@brostenen : Yeah, I remember the release of the 'C' model, but that was after the little shop I worked at had closed, sadly...too much competition from the big guys getting in on the home computer game... :-( I now own a perfect 64-C (non-yellowed even!), and love it - I prefer it to the originals that I remember SO well... I never liked that bulky bread-bin style so much... the 'C' always looked SO much nicer!! :-D I remember it being released late 80s, along with the C128, and thought they looked so neat! :-) But by then the PCs were really starting to get popular.... we sold Commodore Colts back then (1987, at the BX - USAF Army & Airforce Exchange on a USAF base in England), and as I didn't know DOS from a hole in the head, I wondered what that was all about!! Lol!! :-D
@@stevesstuff1450 Hehe... You can actually build your own C64 these days. Personally I love the 1986 model C over the Breadbin and later Model-C's. That is the 250466 revision. The thing that made it special, was the keyboard, that were mounted on brackets and then the best video signal quality of all 64's ever produced. The 250425 comes close, but the 250466 is better. I have a breadbin that I refurbished. Then I have a homebuild SixtyClone 250466 and a homebuild ATX64, wich is an C64 in ATX form factor. Finally I have one of them TheC64 full size, wich is a modern recreation that uses emulation.
@@brostenen : Yeah... I've seen that... I think Adrian, and Jan Beta has done that in the past? I just love the look of that newer casing with the white keys of the C64C model..... I wish the folks at "The C64" made an alternative case and keyboard/key-caps to replicate the 64C for their original breadbin design... ;-) For me, it would look so much nicer in that later sleeker casing, even though that is not my 'nostalgic' memory of it.... the breadbin was the one I remember most, but never liked it's bulky design - back then I preferred the smaller and slicker looking Sinclair ZX Spectrum, just based on looks...when it came to what they could do, the ZX Spectrum was amazing, however the C64 tore it apart!! :-D Later ZX Spectrums like the 128K +2 models got closer, but never equaled the C64.... but by then the C64C was also available, and so for me, it was all over.... the C64C.... though I did also get a ZX Spectrum +2 (black version) which also works perfectly, and is a fantastic piece of 8-bit history too... :-)
The beige brick is what I got with my PAL C64C way back. Unfortunately, (or possibly fortunately) that brick died and I had to get an aftermarket replacement.
If ya want a classic looking 3d printed parts "BEIGE 500" from printed solid would look cool, also flourecent brown would be pretty nice too, its a brown but floureses orange. Think a&w's colors.
I had a 1989 Commodore 64 C with same looking power supply, which failed pretty soon after the warranty expired :D It blew the fuse immediatly, either when connected to the wall socket, or at powerup, can't remember anymore exactly. It had to be replaced with our own money. Dad tried to open the failed one to see what went wrong, but as it was filled with epoxy, it was impossible. My C-64 C box was similar looking as most Commodore Amiga 500 boxes, white base colour and blue & red stripes and the computer image on it, if I recall correctly :P Oh and as I live in Finland, mine was PAL version.
At 25:20, that's Digital _Equipment_ Corporation, not _Electronics_ as you said, also known as DEC or just _digital._ Digital, Intel and Xerox were the ones who basically created and popularized Ethernet back in the early days. DEC set a lot of standards, like the VT-100 terminals and descendants. (Sorry if I'm repeating things some of you already know, I proudly supported the hardware, OpenVMS operating system, and networking from roughly 1986 to 2018.)
At 23:10 this is an EMU 0404 PCI audio interface. It was a very fully featured product for its time, considering it slimmed things down to a single PCI card. Very suitable for ASIO in DAW software like Cubase on Windows 98 and XP. Creative did indeed buy out EMU but rather than continue the brand and do anything with them, they sadly disappeared. No more amazing EMU synthesisers or samplers, either. Eff Creative.
Hook the midi controller up to a MSSIAH cart for C64. I have one you can borrow. Maybe you can figure it out and then teach the rest of us. That thing is inscrutable.
you can use the usb keyboard with your roland but you will need to have the computer in the middle .. you can use the game port output to to connect to the soundcanvas with a game port to midi cable ... then you can use an app like hubies midi loop back .. and that will pass the midi data from the keyboard to the soundcanvas
I would love that M-Audio midi controller if you're not going to use it! I'm working on music for a homebrew game I'm working on. Great video as usual.
I have/had (not sure it works anymore) the Plusdeck 2c. The colored headphone cables was for the output to go into the sound card. That sound card ribbon cable is not the same. I was unable to get the software to work in XP but the front panel controls work just fine without the software. I would caution though to keep a cleaning cassette handy as they liked to eat tapes like many car stereo tape decks. I actually am hoping to build an old beige box to rerip my music CDs and get my old Plusdeck working, if it works. (Hasn't been touched in over a decade...)
Exacto knife under the corner to support it without touching the sticky bits is how I apply fiddly stickers, but I still have trouble with static causing the sticker to prematurely want to stick, not 100% sure what to do about that to make that not happen.

@@BilisNegra Yeah, I think you're right.
AAFES = Army Air Force Exchange Service. It was originally purchased on base.
@Adrian's Digital Basement the C64 wall mount is PLA, you can put just the 64 holding part unter running water or boil sow and will soften, then just press fit your C64, PLA will get soft around 60C
I swear it looks like Adrian is high AF on that west coast good good in his videos but he’s so cognizant of his subjects at hand that it’s unbelievable.
Not that this has any bearing on Adrian, but you’d be surprised how many engineers are able to be baked and fully functional. Some can’t even focus on the matter at hand without it, such as taking a holistic view to troubleshooting, avoiding going down pointless rabbit holes. I do think Adrian is just generally a chill guy but.. certainly being able to troubleshoot and solder and everything absolutely does not preclude the possibility.
When I have to apply a label in tight quarters, I tend to use a pair of tweezers, and to set one edge down first to get it lined up. As for prep, I’d think just going over the key tops with isopropyl alcohol and Qtips should be safe and thorough enough.
Exactly what I was thinking!
That midi keyboard is new, like the current model you'd buy in a store.
Yeah probs can do usb midi with something like ableton...
One day I'll be looking for an upgrade for my rock band 360 keytar that serves as a minimalistic midi device
I love that Adrian does the same thing I tend to do when recording.. "I'm not going to talk anymore about this because it will be in a future video.." then proceeds to talk about the item more and more. Curious/analytical minds just can't stop :)
Um, lady, that not an "analytical mind". That's closer to being scatterbrained. It's not a terrible thing, but it's not something to brag about. It's like saying "I have trouble concentrating just like Andrian! It must be a sign of common genius". Not so much, dear.
@@squirlmy I disagree, not sure why there is a negative take on focusing on one thing, and continuing on that focus even though you know you should move on because you are recording. This is more about a behavior quirk and definitely speaks to curiosity level. I think it is a matter of how you look at it. Also, you have quite a condescending tone "dear". I am a senior software application architect with over 20 years experience. I know what level of focus, concentration, and drive it takes to succeed at being an engineer.
@@MaidenAriana Those of use who can’t concentrate well have to make do…..bashing those who can is unfortunate, but we can’t be you so we have to appreciate who we are.
@@jonnycandoI did not brag about anything or accuse anyone of being unable to concentrate. I have noticed Adrian doing that same thing many times in his wonderful videos and I was simply saying I do it too and think it is endearing for crying out loud. Cuvtixo called what I was describing as being scatterbrained and I simply disagreed with them and the way their message was written to talk down to me. It was dripping with sarcasm and meant to "put me in my place". I absolutely was not talking about anyone else not being able to concentrate. I was talking about Adrian concentrating too much after saying he was going to move on. It is just a quirky thing I happen to do as well. This whole thread of conversation has become absurd.

I purchased an Atari 800 at the BX (Base Exchange) in Okinawa Japan where I was stationed in 1981. AAFES was the operator of Air Force BX and Army PX (Post Exchange) stores. They only sold cassette decks so I ordered an 810 Atari Disk Drive from the AAFES Catalog.
How much of a discount did you get versus MSRP or the going Atari dealer rates back then? Curious...
When applying stickers, you can clean the surface with natural/pure soap with water, and then leave a fine spray of soapy water on the surface, then you can move the stickers around the surface, when they are in their final place, just leave it there until the water dries off, and rub away the sticky soap residues between the stickers with a damp rag.
Soap is naturally adhesive when dried, so it does not usually compromise the adhesiveness of the stickers.
Oh, nice, that 5.25" cassette deck! I've been wanting one for myself ever since I saw RetroManCave aka RMC use one on his channel.
My inner eye pictures Mr. Basinger of LGR DROOLING about this cassette deck. This is exactly his kind of stuff.
Yep, that's definitely oddware!
Other people have mentioned Retro Man Cave did a video on it, so maybe that's what I saw. It's not a channel I normally watch.
Yeah, as a cassette player it most probably sucks, but the form factor, the bright colors. So late 90's-early 2000's, and certainly rare. No doubt right up his alley! I almost expected a comment here by Clint himself!
@@eDoc2020 what are you referring to? Did you comment on the wrong thread? Which channel do you not watch? LGR's, Retroman's ? What does you're not watching anything have to do with anything?
The cable with the red/green/blue RCA jacks and the din connector is a converter from Component inputs to S-Video inputs.
Hi Adrian, I have a similar USB keyboard which is recognised by my PC as a USB midi device. I also have my Sound Canvas hooked up to the PC, so I use a little freeware app called Midi Ox which routes the keyboard midi commands through to the Sound Canvas. Works great and would likely work for your keyboard too.
The HT820! Those Motorola headphones were my first ever set of bluetooth headphones, I loved those things. I killed batteries in two sets of those. I have a large head as well, but they fit me.. which is rare for those kinds of headphones.
I recommend to spray paint the mounting brackets glossy black so it would match the C16.
For the PET keys, use an exacto knife to transfer them from the paper to the PET via the very corner. BTW: I'm a UA-cam Premium Subscriber, so I hope that helps.
Fun video, really enjoyed the opening of a treasure chest to see the tech goodies! Have a great day!
Hi Adrian , the M-Audio keyboard uses the usb to communicate with the pc for connecting to a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) , using a sequencer like Reaper , Cubase ,or any other midi compatible software , you can also use a standalone host software like vsc sound canvas from roland run that and select the midi in as your Usb controller and there you go it will play from the keyboard :)
But you already knew that ...... Right :)
Lee
Keep up the good work :)
AAFES is the Army & Air Force Exchange Service. That was purchased at either a PX (Post Exchange (Army)) or BX (Base Exchange (Air Force)).
Interesting naming convention, base vs post. Come to think of it my friends who were in the US military would say about living at a posting or being based somewhere. I didn’t think much about the different wording but I think it does match to which branch they were in and which terms you just specified… neat
@@kaitlyn__L Growing up, we always called it an Army base. But at the same time, you would either say you lived on post or off post. I guess it's something that I never paid much attention to.
I'm sure 1000 people have said this already, but install the E-MU card, connect the Sound Canvas by MIDI to the E-MU with the provided adapters, then attach the M-Audio to your computer to control it. You'll need some intermediary software (most people use a 'digital audio workstation' (DAW), there's a few free and trial examples out there, like 'Reaper') but you can definitely use the keyboard to interface with the Sound Canvas and any other MIDI devices you may have!
I have wanted one of those usb midi keyboards for years.
Someday I'll have the budget... someday.
For the M-Audio keyboard you could use a demo of ableton on the pc and it would send midi via usb. The commands you see on the keyboard are the CC id for that control and then the value it sends -127 to 127 . The E-MU sound card is also for music production and uses the ASIO audio driver that can have very low latency less than 10ms so the delay from pressing a midi key to the sound card playing the sound is as small as possible. It also has balanced inputs for instruments and pro grade digital IO. Not sure it would work on a new pc the drivers are a bit picky so perhaps windows xp would be a good choice. I used to build music production PC for a living so happy to answer any questions.
The e-mu card is probably the professional version of the SB Live/Audigy as creative used e-mu dsps on the live and audigy. Win2k/XP would be right or even 98
It works on win 10 i have the maudio rebadged version of it
"Milk bones" we a favourite amongst my contemporaries in the 70s in the UK

Oh, I had a similar behaviour as the headphones with a fitness tracker. My power bank would light it up and “charge” for 30 seconds before turning off. But it worked fine on others. So the headphones could just not be drawing enough current, given they likely charge at way less than the 500mA limit of the day. Plug ‘em into a laptop or a wall adapter for a few hours and I’d wager they still work a little bit.
As for applying the key stickers here is what you need to do. First buy 1 bottle of 90 proof vodka and a bottle Single Malt Scotch. Using a tooth brush clean the keys with the vodka. Next while the keys are drying drink the bottle of Scotch. Now apply the stickers. After drinking that much Scotch you will care if they are on straight.

For the keyboard stickers I would design a jig and 3d print it, something that fits the key with a square window the size of the stickers so they always fit centred.
You could probably cover the PET keycap stickers with adhesive translucent vinyl squares so the print never wears off.
Adrian, That Blue/Black Commodore 64C Box is an Original Canadian Marketed C64. I have one just like it. USA Marketed C64C's came in a White Box just like the USA C128's and 1541 II and 1571, and 1581 Disk Drives as well. All the later USA boxes matched. ;) Tony K. , Melbourne, Florida
I am very familiar with that audio card. It has nothing to do with the tape player. I have the 1820m version of that card, which I still use for my digital audio workstation. I believe the 0404, the 1212 and the 1820 cards all use the same drivers, which were for Windows 7, but still work for Windows 10. That card is a very high-quality card, and was fairly expensive back in the day. That card can 'emulate' the Emulator II, and there was software for that card that emulates the Proteus Synth as well. (I think I have the software for both). Those DSP chips were very powerful, and could do onboard hardware audio effects. The SYNC output, if I recall correctly, refers to audio sync timing generation, and used with SMPTE timecoding so you could use this audio card with video production. This card can be considered retro in the sense of the emulated synths, since it was one of the first personal computer setups to emulate a production hardware synth before the advent of the software VST format. Edit: Yes, there are drivers for Windows XP as well.
For that MIDI keyboard you might like something like LMMS since it's free and pretty simple. It comes with a lot of retro computer themed plugins too. There's other commercial/freeware options too that can be messed with. Then of course a whole world of commercial/paid DAWs/trackers/plugins/etc.
"Unfortunately that's not THE CASE." Lol!
I have a boxed C64C doorstop with the same beige power supply. The box looks like a late 80s updated version of the original C64 breadbin box which I also have. Also, for some reason I got really lucky with my potted C64 power supplies, none of them died so far, they're all still within spec, I got a bad one once but that was bad before I got it and it's not completely potted so I could snip the original 7805 out and jam a new one between the case and the heatsink and attach it and that works a treat.
The sticker on the power brick (AAFES) means Army/Air Force Exchange Services. It must have been purchased on a military base somewhere 👍🏼
I like the new camera angle. I think it's cool if you change some of the angles every so often but keep others the same, gives the videos a fresh and interesting yet familiar look.
@33:00 You can use the control buttons to do camera switching, for example...
There’s no doubt that Adrian's videos are the best on YT. It's a shame YT revenue is down for him atm.
With all those boxes, you'll have to get a cat to play in them.
The headphones may charge if you leave them on for some time. If youre lucky the battery might charge slowly until it reaches a satisfactory voltage for the charger to switch to fast charge.
That’s probably what it is. Trickle charging to minimum cutoff, and that’s probably at a current too low for the pack to realize there’s a load.
Yup, exactly. I observered that behaviour with a power bank I got at a charity store using my USB tester. It drew 100mA for some time then jumped to 800mA and would then supply power.
I remember those Motorola BT headphones working in consumer electronics around 2007-2008 - back in the day when most phones didn’t support A2DP and Bluetooth still didn’t sound that great even with it…they were genuinely challenging to sell at ~$150!
You can use a USB to MIDI adapter with a DAW or a MIDI router software to pass-thru the messages from M-Audio to either Sound Canvas or C64 Mssiah cartridge if you have that.
Hey Adrian, it's Digital Equipment Corporation. My AlphaStation wanted to pass the message along. :)
AAFES sales a lot of stuff. As a kid my neighbor could buy gijoes when I worked at Firestone Tires and service we supplied the tires they sold.
"I'm not sure what flavor the white ones are supposed to be.".
Stuart: "Creme de Stuart."
Everybody was thinking it. Nobody else wanted to say it. :P
Also, in case you didn't know, RMC already did a comprehensive video on that pc tape deck. It is one of his most viewed videos.
Will be nice to see Adrian's
Oh sweet! I had to do an install for a customer on one of those cassette players. Probably around 2004 actually... quite late in the game if you think about it. I work and live in Utah and the goal was for the customer to be able to digitize a bunch of old LDS church talks from the late 70's and 80's. I think it worked out for them! I was just a computer tech, but they brought in the whole collection thinking that I would do all the digitzing for them. Yeah.... no. They had not paid for that type of thing... wasn't even a service we offered or where willing to do. Was just outside the scope of a computer repair shop.
Haha. “You want me to do what? Sure. Shop rate’s $60/hr.”
@15:51 That's the mark for the Army and Air Force Exchange Service. It was "the company store" that was internal to US Army and Air Force bases abroad. There were a couple of AAFES places (also called "The Commissary") here in Panama during the US presence in the Canal Zone.
I wonder if they’re contracted-out or if they’re run directly by a government (military) arm. I’m always surprised at how lowkey socialist American military life is.
@@kaitlyn__L You can find out more here at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_%26_Air_Force_Exchange_Service - And yes, there's lots of "socialism" in American life in general. Social Security (the word's in the title), government-run schools, Universities, police, etc. - but people sometimes appear to pick and choose what they think is or isn't socialism depending on their own context or experiences.
@@VidaDigital while that’s certainly true about civilian life, such as.. the interstate system, military life seems even moreso.
Such as how the essentials are provided and their paycheques can be saved or spent solely on luxuries. That’s a bit like having a microcosm society that doesn’t use money except for luxury goods.
And so, depending on whether the Exchange is contracted out to the lowest bidder like the VA social security things are, or whether it’s run directly; would make the difference between a private entity selling civilian computers to the military servicepeople, or the government just directly selling consumer goods to (some of) its citizens without involving private enterprise.
@@kaitlyn__L You're absolutely right. That's why back in my day all the army/af/navy base kids had the best computers. :-)
@@VidaDigital yeah when I was a teenager I remember asking a friend “didn’t you just buy a new GPU 9 months ago?” and he was like “yeah but I can afford it cos I live on base” and he had to explain to me why that sentence made a lick of sense haha. I had had no idea cos in his selfies it just looked like a regular apartment, so my mental image of what “living on base” even looked like had been very incorrect.
E-MU was a Synthesizer company, bought by Creative Labs in the 90's.
I had those Motorola headphones back in the day. If I'm remembering right, I think you could pair them to two devices simultaneously so you could be listening to something streaming from your computer and then take a call from your phone.
Fancy new camera work, especially at 0:45, it's like an opening of a tv series or an older video game with the text on screen, I like it!
You can make your own shapes from factory made gummy candy, like the bad of Harribo that melted in your car, you can gently heat up a batch and pour it in your mould. If you use powdered sugar and push in an object, the sugar can take up the shape then our the molten gummy inside the indentation. Or just use regular silicone mouls.
20:35 - that's some fine candidate for LGR Oddware!
31:05 - I had a good laugh there, you just opened a pristine brand new item but you found something about it to fix and you just fixed it :D
You could try a demo of Reason with that keyboard.
AAFES. Army and Air Force Exchange Service. Also looks like 80s AAFES. So that power supply is from a BX or PX.
tape deck for the pc LGR is now on his way
Hi Adrian....
Something just hit me. Between Jan. the 7'th and 10'th next year. Then the Commodore64 will be 40 years old. Personally I can not wait to see how people will celebrate it's 40'th birthday. Hopefully there will be stories from the engineers that were involved and other people who have shaped the C64 through the years.
Wow! You're right! I'd not thought about that... and there I was, working in a small family-owned computer store here in the UK back then, and the excitement around the release of the C64 was HUGE!! We couldn't keep them in stock when they released!!
It's a shame that the Commodore of those days isn't around now to celebrate....
Hopefully there will be many online celebrations for this at-the-time 'revolutionary' machine! :-)
@@stevesstuff1450 Cool you experienced the release. I saw one for the first time around 1985'ish. But I sure remember the release of Model-C.
@@brostenen : Yeah, I remember the release of the 'C' model, but that was after the little shop I worked at had closed, sadly...too much competition from the big guys getting in on the home computer game... :-( I now own a perfect 64-C (non-yellowed even!), and love it - I prefer it to the originals that I remember SO well... I never liked that bulky bread-bin style so much... the 'C' always looked SO much nicer!! :-D I remember it being released late 80s, along with the C128, and thought they looked so neat! :-)
But by then the PCs were really starting to get popular.... we sold Commodore Colts back then (1987, at the BX - USAF Army & Airforce Exchange on a USAF base in England), and as I didn't know DOS from a hole in the head, I wondered what that was all about!! Lol!! :-D
@@stevesstuff1450 Hehe... You can actually build your own C64 these days. Personally I love the 1986 model C over the Breadbin and later Model-C's. That is the 250466 revision. The thing that made it special, was the keyboard, that were mounted on brackets and then the best video signal quality of all 64's ever produced. The 250425 comes close, but the 250466 is better.
I have a breadbin that I refurbished. Then I have a homebuild SixtyClone 250466 and a homebuild ATX64, wich is an C64 in ATX form factor. Finally I have one of them TheC64 full size, wich is a modern recreation that uses emulation.
@@brostenen : Yeah... I've seen that... I think Adrian, and Jan Beta has done that in the past? I just love the look of that newer casing with the white keys of the C64C model.....
I wish the folks at "The C64" made an alternative case and keyboard/key-caps to replicate the 64C for their original breadbin design... ;-) For me, it would look so much nicer in that later sleeker casing, even though that is not my 'nostalgic' memory of it.... the breadbin was the one I remember most, but never liked it's bulky design - back then I preferred the smaller and slicker looking Sinclair ZX Spectrum, just based on looks...when it came to what they could do, the ZX Spectrum was amazing, however the C64 tore it apart!! :-D
Later ZX Spectrums like the 128K +2 models got closer, but never equaled the C64.... but by then the C64C was also available, and so for me, it was all over.... the C64C.... though I did also get a ZX Spectrum +2 (black version) which also works perfectly, and is a fantastic piece of 8-bit history too... :-)
The beige brick is what I got with my PAL C64C way back. Unfortunately, (or possibly fortunately) that brick died and I had to get an aftermarket replacement.
I'm kinda nervous about you eating homemade candy that someone sent you in the mail, but hopefully it's coming from people you know and trust.
Ikr! I was saying the same thing
The Emu 0404 was my first Cubase audio interface.
If ya want a classic looking 3d printed parts "BEIGE 500" from printed solid would look cool, also flourecent brown would be pretty nice too, its a brown but floureses orange. Think a&w's colors.
a... PC cassette deck.
....freaking wild man. what would that even show up as in windows/linux/etc?
Doesn't appear to connect to the mainboard at all. So it is just a cassette deck integrated into the case.
I had a 1989 Commodore 64 C with same looking power supply, which failed pretty soon after the warranty expired :D
It blew the fuse immediatly, either when connected to the wall socket, or at powerup, can't remember anymore exactly. It had to be replaced with our own money. Dad tried to open the failed one to see what went wrong, but as it was filled with epoxy, it was impossible.
My C-64 C box was similar looking as most Commodore Amiga 500 boxes, white base colour and blue & red stripes and the computer image on it, if I recall correctly :P
Oh and as I live in Finland, mine was PAL version.
You should have been playing jazz (LGR style) when looking at the keyboard. Also, there are USB to MIDI adapters available
5:10 I would get me these bread bin wall mounts and install them above my riffle wall mount! 😁👍
At 25:20, that's Digital _Equipment_ Corporation, not _Electronics_ as you said, also known as DEC or just _digital._ Digital, Intel and Xerox were the ones who basically created and popularized Ethernet back in the early days. DEC set a lot of standards, like the VT-100 terminals and descendants.
(Sorry if I'm repeating things some of you already know, I proudly supported the hardware, OpenVMS operating system, and networking from roughly 1986 to 2018.)
Not sure if anyone else said this, but we always pronounced AAFES as "AYfees", or BX for Base Exchange.
Gummi candy gets hard as a rock in the fridge
Just don't get freaky Fridayed or Michael Orange will be the new Adrian Black
you're gonna hate me but i miss the 'let's get right to it..' ^^
FL Studio is a fun program to play around with MIDI 👍
At 23:10 this is an EMU 0404 PCI audio interface. It was a very fully featured product for its time, considering it slimmed things down to a single PCI card. Very suitable for ASIO in DAW software like Cubase on Windows 98 and XP. Creative did indeed buy out EMU but rather than continue the brand and do anything with them, they sadly disappeared. No more amazing EMU synthesisers or samplers, either. Eff Creative.
The ee-mu has midi out. The keyboard does midi over USB, so...
Keyboard -> pc -> ee-mu -> sound canvas
Creative labs bought E-MU and Ensoniq (founded by ex-Commodore engineers), both great companies that Creative did nothing with, very sad.
Charlie Bucket, if you weren't already aware is the titular character of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
like the new camera angle.
AAFES best place to shop while serving no taxes and often items close to cost. Miss shopping on base.
i'd use windex for surface prep for stickers. it works on license plates
Don't feel bad using those; they were made to be used, not to be left collecting dust.
Hook the midi controller up to a MSSIAH cart for C64. I have one you can borrow. Maybe you can figure it out and then teach the rest of us. That thing is inscrutable.
That keyboard will have USB Midi - you will be able to use an adapter to get the DIN-style MIDI output from it :)
Doesn't beat the cigarette-lighter, but that cassette deck is wild. So want one.
you can use the usb keyboard with your roland but you will need to have the computer in the middle .. you can use the game port output to to connect to the soundcanvas with a game port to midi cable ... then you can use an app like hubies midi loop back .. and that will pass the midi data from the keyboard to the soundcanvas
29:20 - Check to see if it can do Midi through the USB port!
We need to have Stuart as a guest on the channel!
AAFES is Army Air Force Exchange Service. It's the department store on Army and Air Force bases.
I would love that M-Audio midi controller if you're not going to use it! I'm working on music for a homebrew game I'm working on. Great video as usual.
I have/had (not sure it works anymore) the Plusdeck 2c. The colored headphone cables was for the output to go into the sound card. That sound card ribbon cable is not the same.
I was unable to get the software to work in XP but the front panel controls work just fine without the software.
I would caution though to keep a cleaning cassette handy as they liked to eat tapes like many car stereo tape decks.
I actually am hoping to build an old beige box to rerip my music CDs and get my old Plusdeck working, if it works. (Hasn't been touched in over a decade...)
Exacto knife under the corner to support it without touching the sticky bits is how I apply fiddly stickers, but I still have trouble with static causing the sticker to prematurely want to stick, not 100% sure what to do about that to make that not happen.
Post-It notes, 3M, Romy and Michelle.
You're right! Post-it brand is owned by 3M.
