Hi,

I am writing a third year computer science project on my Amiga. The project takes
audio files and converts them to MIDI files. I have managed to get this working but now
have decided to extend the project and add support for real-time MIDI conversion (eg You
could play the guitar connected to the Amiga buy a sampler and it would be sent out a
MIDI interface as you played the notes). Obviously to do this I need to be able to read
the sampler which is connected to the parallel port of my Amiga. Does anyone know how to
do this? I would like to set up an interrupt so that every time a sample value arrived a
function gets called (I think this can be done with Exec's AddIntServer() but I could not
get it to work). Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I get this working then I will
have it released on the aminet so all can enjoy for free!

Thanks,

Nicholas Allen
