| It should work, if you copy it in "image mode". (That is, don't turn
CRLFs into LFs.) However, it might very well not work because of bugs
in either the producer or consumer of the file. Even on the Amiga I
have not been able to write a non-trivial MIDI file with Music-X
and read it back in without the music getting confused. I don't know
whether the reader or writer is at fault, but something's wrong.

| 3812.2 | SMF works for me | WILARD::ROSCETTI | A Spurious Char@cter | Tue Jun 05 1990 17:22 | 14 |

I trade Midi sequences fairly regularly between an Amiga (using
Music-X) and an Atari-ST. I have had no problems other than the
actual limitations of SMF. ( note on/off, velocity, tracks, all
come out fine). I generally avoid patch changes and tempo data
The synths on each system are different, so Patch changes are
useless anyway
I have never tried actually trading disks. All transfers were done
using either Kermit or Xmodem. Usually with a Vax as the intermediary.

| 3812.3 | SMF? | SAUTER::SAUTER | John Sauter | Tue Jun 05 1990 17:30 | 3 |
| What's SMF? I think .0 is referring to MIDI File Format, which I've
always heard abbreviated as MFF.

SMF = Standard Midi File
I have heard it called all kinds of things - Standard Midi files,
Midi File Format, Midi File Standard, Etc. We're talking about the
same thing.
Perhaps SMF is the spec that defines MFF. or vice/versa.
I guess it says a lot about a Standard when even the name is
questionable :^)
