20.0. "MIDI..." by KERNEL::FLOWERS (Hero of the Green Screen...) Wed Apr 06 1988 10:25

    
      After reading the note on MIDI I thought it may be a good idea
    to have a topic dedicated to this subject. So here goes...
    
    I have recently bought an Atari 520STfm and as I said in a previous
    note, mainly for its MIDI support. To be honest MIDI is totaly new
    to me and I am starting off as a total novice, I understand the
    principles and the features but at the present it is all theory
    and no pratice but hopefully all this will be set right very shortly.
    
    On the music side, Yamaha DX27, fully MIDI compatable but alas
    not multi timbral and a Yamaha RX15 drum machine, so hopefully
    plumbing the ST into this lot should provide some fun.
    
    As yet I have no MIDI software, so come what do you MIDIots recommend?
    
    Jason.

20.1	Check out Computer Music Conf.	KYOA::MURRAY		`Wed Apr 06 1988 10:50`	10
	This topic is discussed a number times in the Computer Music Conference, NOVA::COMMUSIC (Hit KP7 to add to your notebook). The consensus over there seems to be that Dr T's KCS (~$200) program is the best all around ST MIDI program. I personally own Dr. T's MRS, which is the baby brother of the KCS and the features it has for the price (~$40) are quite amazing. Good luck. Rich Murray
20.2	in-out-in-out	MINDER::KENT	But there's no hole in the middle	`Wed Apr 06 1988 10:54`	28
	Jason First 2 things 1 Were you aware of the Commusic notesfile. I haven't read it for the last couple of days so you may well have posted there as well. That is a file pretty much dedicated to the use of Midi and Computer Music in general. 2 One of the meetings which has grown out of the Commusic noters file is a meeting occasionally held in the Reading/Basingtoke area which is called for historic reasons BERKS-BUM. If you read the commusic file you will realise why. This is an excuse for getting together and discussing just the sort of topic you have raised here. No one can easily answer your question on what is or isn't the best sequencer for your use. There are lots of good seqeuncers about all with a slightly different accent on use and capability. I think you need to document your requierements and then ask the question again. Based on that, you may get an answer which would be helpful rather than generic. Paul

	re .4 Kev, I assume that PRO-12 is public domain ?? If not then you'd better withdraw your offer to copy it, as you will find yourself in trouble with the moderators (and several other people) for breaking Digital rules on using a conference to encourage illegal activities. I hate to sound heavy (man), but this is a serious matter. Cheers, Derek. P.S. If it is PD then I'll have a copy :-)
