When you are playing the MIDI NES directly with a midi keyboard, is it possible to make it play chords? I have one, bu5t I can only get it to do one note at a time,w hich makes it sorta useless.
@kHill212 No. The NES channels are monophonic. If you had a way to break up the notes and split between separate channels, then it would work, but each sound would have a different wave sound one on channel 1, one on ch 2, one on ch 3). If you listen to original Nintendo games, they really didn't have chords either. You can tap into a lot more of the potential of this device using a sequencer (FL studio, Ableton etc )instead of just a controller, but still no chords.
wow, where can i track one down? ive searched endlessly!

lol your songs sound better than some of the actual music on some old NES games. . . quality control wasn't that great back then.
