- Short: Use your MIDI KB to run programs!
- ============================================================================
- MidiWatcher v1.0 by Ed Mackey
- ============================================================================
-
- Yes folx, another one of my silly trinkets appears on the net ;-).
-
- MidiWatcher is for people with MIDI keyboards. It requires the midi.library
- v2 or higher by Bill Barton (not included). It should run under almost any
- version of the Amiga's OS.
-
- Basically, this program sits in the background and watches your MIDI IN port
- for certain tunes. When it recognizes a tune, it runs a program.
-
- For instance, if I need my directory utility up, I can do one of three
- things: (1) I can search through subdirectories for its icon (takes too
- much time and is boring), (2) I can press a ToolManager hotkey (takes much
- less time but is still boring), or (3) I can reach over and play a little
- jingle on my MIDI keyboard, and up pops MegaD. The third choice is clearly
- much more fun than either of the others ;-).
-
- Well, you get the idea. Have fun!
