Re: Casio MG 510 controllers

I had an MG510 myself, superb piece of kit

They were made way before anything had drivers!

It has a 5 pin MIDI out which will plug into any 5 pin MIDI input

You will need a MIDI interface for your computer and (if that needs drivers
- some don't) whatever software comes with the interface to make it work

Bear in mind if left unused for a while, the Casio guitars suffer from
failed surface mount capacitors and the strings may not sound unless you
strum really really hard, or indeed at all

Any good electronics expert will be able to diagnose and fix this for you!

Cheers

Mark

of THE SYSTEM, a book, a set of oracle cards and a concept album (sound
journey) of the same name, which depicts a journey from pure potential to

chakras, the twelve constellations, or tarot.Life is a gamble. If we
present the story of life as a deck of cards, every good card player should
have a system. Be it a professional, personal or private conflict, we
derive meaning and story from everything we do. THE SYSTEM is a new way of
looking at established and traditional oracles and drawing correlations
between them. Each card in the deck relates to a place on an arc of one of
the stories that you are in life. THE SYSTEM is based on a Harlequin's
Journey which takes the questioner on the mythological voyage of a hero,
along a symbolic path to actualisation. The interpretations encompass
various teachings, while holding no affiliation to any single religion or
