Well, I've wasting my time looking for a MIDI player all over the net for a couple of weeks. Now, let see if there is a best solution ... Anyone knows about a MIDI players working from the command line, running under MS-DOS, for a ...ROLAND MPU ? (Hells, maybe this don't belong to this list!) Where can I get it ? Hardest enough ? No ? If possible, in source code. As a side effect, let's see if this list is still active ... (oh, my horrible english. How much words misspelled ? ) - -- _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ ____________________________ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ / Bernardo Miguel Iglesias \ _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ | | _/_/ _/ _/_/ | La Voz en Off | _/_/_/ _/ _/_/_/ | a00712@dtic.ua.es | _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ | | _/ _/ _/ _/ _/ | GUSante :-) bajo WIN95 :-( | _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/ _/ \____________________________/ ------------------------------ From: Cuthalion / Sliced Bread Date: Tue, 13 Jun 1995 08:12:17 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Re: MIDI command-line player, please ?

Simple enough, eh? > Hardest enough ? No ? If possible, in source code. Ugh. Sorry, not source code.. Ask Gravis? :) > As a side effect, let's see if this list is still active ... I'm still here. :) > (oh, my horrible english. How much words misspelled ? ) 0 spelling mistakes, several minor gramatical errors. Not too bad. /*************************************************************** *** Jesse Morris *** enrico@max.tiac.net *** jmorris@ace.com *** ***************** Cuthalion / Sliced Bread *******************/ ------------------------------ From: Francois Dion Date: Tue, 13 Jun 1995 23:49:55 -0700 (PDT) Subject: techno drum loops I'm starting to upload some drum loops to hyperreal and of course to epas. Pointers in my www pages will be there soon too. Basically, after a discussion on Analog Heaven (a mailing list about analog synths and drum machines), some people tought that to do drums, the best way was with an analog beat box, not with a sampler and sequencer. I believe that some pro beatbox will upload samples to hyperreal, so i decided to upload some loops made with a sequencer and the gus. You'll then be able to see for yourself. I'll also put in there one of my top 5 production called "Human Teknology". Powerfull intelligent dance music, also known as techno (no hype that's what a dj told me!). You'll be able to hear this if you have mpeg audio playback. If not, check out the tool section on hyperreal.com. So, the places to check this week: archive.epas.utoronto.edu in incoming directory hyperreal.com in incoming/machines for drum loops, and hyperreal.com in music/artists/francois_dion/samples for music.
