Product Overview

The Commodore VIC-20 is often ignored for its musical capabilities, living in the shadow of its younger brother, the Commodore 64 and SID.  But, that's not to say the VIC-20 can't create pleasant and even awesome audio magic!  To help with that, as well as assist in the memory shortcomings of the VIC, VIC-MIDI offers not only MIDI-IN, OUT, and THRU support, but aso 512kB of VIC-programmable FLASH ROM and 128kB of RAM, both supporting the "UltiMem" expansion system.  FInally, for those who care not for MIDI but are interested in RS232 communication with their VIC, we offer serial capabilities, up to 230kbps.

THe unit comes pre-loaded with Leif Bloomquist's MIDI controller application, ready to command the VIC-20 to do your MIDI bidding.

Although the unit will eventually come in three variants (MIDI-only, RS232-only, or both), the initial batch will support MIDI and RS232 out of the box. 

No case is included.  Sorry.  Working on sourcing cases.

    Vic Midi review

    Posted by Terry Raymond on 26th May 2016

    Excellent hardware could be labeled a little better but can be figured out no big problem. I love the added Flash Ram for flashing programs and the Ram expansion is awesome. Vic-20 users have needed a better cartridge and myself this is excellent. I give this cartridge a big thumbs up, thank you Jim Brain for a job well done. A+. As for the Midi portion I'm not yet duely impressed but maybe it will improve.
