LGR - Yamaha CBX-T3 "Hello! Music!" Pack (Patreon)

https://youtu.be/l3iU8Fo3z1o

It's December! But it's not Christmas episode time quite yet. I haven't made up my mind on it but I may end up doing only one of those this year. There just isn't a whole lot of interesting holiday-related computer left stuff to cover at this point.

Soooooo, it's onto another old school MIDI module! This time it's all about Yamaha's "Hello! Music!" bundle from late 1992/early '93, which combined the CBX-T3 with a selection of Windows 3.1 software from Passport Designs. As far as early General MIDI devices go, it’s a rather forgotten one compared to the well-known offerings from Roland. Or even those from Yamaha themselves.

I had quite a fun time putting this one together, too. Typically I stick to the MIDI playback side of things and don't go into MIDI creation. But since that is such a major facet of this kit from Yamaha, I felt inclined to go just a little deeper in the latter half of the video. Hope you enjoy!
