Has anyone heard from Mike Knudsen lately? I have Ultimusic os9 midi utility
that was authored by him. I am wondering if he made any updates or has anything
for a msdos pc and midi? Thanks, Denise

Sb: MIDI file player for OSK
Fm: Zack Sessions 71532,1555
To:  all
I just bought myself a new toy, a Yamaha CBX-T3 tone generator. It has MIDI
in/out/thru and host input. I have successfully used it with the special
included cable into the host input port from my 386 box with the Windows based
programs which came with it. And with the driver which also came with it, I can
also play MIDI files (*.MID) with the Windows Media Player.
On my MM/1 it works OK with UMusEK, especially after I get the voices figured
out! But I was wondering, has anyone wrote a MIDI file player for OSK? There
are tons and tons of MIDI song files on Delphi and CompuServe, but I want to be
able to play these songs on my MM/1 and not have to cart the synth back and
forth between computers.
I was thinking on writing my own. I have found some software which shows how to
read in and decode a MIDI file, but it doesn't show how to actually "play" the
music. I do not understand what to send to the synth. Do I need to keep a timer
going as to the tick count in the piece, keep track of which note on or off
command to send out at which time and do it that way?

Fm: Zack Sessions 71532,1555
To:  all
I have a Yamaha CBX-T3 Tone Generator connected to the MIDI out on my MM/1A and
am using Ultimuse for KWindows. I have been able to modify the instruments so
that the right voice plays (General MIDI instead of for Yamaha PSR-4xx). But I
have not been able to get the Percussion to work right yet. I have followed the
instructions in the manual to make a perc file, but I get weird results, ie,
wrong voices, most of the time, not even a percussion voice.
Can anyone offer any advise?
TIA,

I don't have either Ultimuse or a CBX-T3...however, I do have some other Midi
equipment....and I've found that the most common problem is that the midi
channels on the sender and receiver are mismatched. Also, you should check to
see that the number of voices on each channel on the receiver are set properly.
If you need a book on Midi, I have a good one called 'Midi for Musicians'. I
got it a few years ago, so I don't know if it is still avail. If you want, I
can look up the publisher, etc.

The midi book is:
        MIDI for Musicians
    Craig Anderson
    Amsco Publications, New York
    A division of Music Sales Corporation
    ISBN 0.8256.1050.8
I just noticed that this is (C) 1986...so there may be more current literature
avail. And I am not a expert on MIDI or the literature. I might check at my
local library before shelling out $$ for this.
