MidiUtility 2.0 2/16/87 Djj
Version 2.0 is an improved (I hope) version of MidiUtility 1.0.
I've added an Intuition interface, a file requester and default directories
for patch data, sequence data and bank data. This version is now compiled
with Manx C.
When started, a movable window will open indicating the commands
available. You may either press a letter on the keyboard or click on the
command letter to activate a command.
Commands which require disk files, will bring up a file requester (thanks
to C. Heath) showing the files contained in the default directory. All
initial default directories will point to the RAM: device. (Instructions for
patching the file for the directory of your choice will follow.)
You may click on the category gadgets (PAT1, PAT2, SEQ, BANK) to change to
a different directory, or you may enter a directory name in the DRAWER
gadget at the top of the requester. The category gadgets default to the
current logged in drive until changed by the user. (See below)
There is a maximum of 5000 midi events which can be recorded. This
can only be changed by recompilation.
Also included in this ARC file are 4 banks of my favorite instruments,
a bank containing the standard internal instruments and a bank of modified
internal instruments required for Music Studio.
------------
Directory usage:
PAT1 -- can hold data patches
PAT2 -- can hold more data patches
SEQ -- can hold recorded sequences
BANK -- can hold banks of 16 data patches
-----------
To change a default directory, you will need a binary file editor such as
NEWZAP to patch the program. You will enter the name of the directories
directly into the program data area.
In NEWZAP, GOTO sector 32. At the offsets listed below you will find the
areas for each default directory. You have 40 characters per directory
name. You may use less than 40 characters, but NO MORE.
dir offset (hex)
PAT1 185
PAT2 1AD
SEQ 1D5
BANK 1FD
For example, if you entered DH1:MIDI/PATCH at offset 185, then when you
select the PAT1 gadget, the above directory contents will be listed.
Also, at offset 184 (sector 32) is a byte that determines if the filename
gadget 'remembers' filenames. If set to 01, the gadget will come up empty
each time the requester opens. If set to 00, the last filename entered will
be 'remembered' and will appear in the name gadget. Your choice.

Note from the AM/FM Editor: Please note that all the files for this utility
are stored in the :Utilities/CasioSoundLib/ directory. All the files are
crunched with PowerPacker, so they would take so much disk space. This also
goes for the sound banks that are stored with the program. So before you can
use any of it, you must decrunch the files onto another disk. To decrunch
these files, use the program "decrunch", stored in the c-directory of this
disk.
