Short: OctaMED6.0 hack to monitor MIDI packets
Author: Eliot/Contortion (thanx Teijo!)
Uploader: eliot@sci.muni.cz
Type: mus/midi
What the hell is it for?
This short utility uses zshell (on Aminet, v2.9 used here)
environment to monitor OctaMED v6.0 (by T. Kinnunen) MIDI
transmission. It's based on Teijo's hack for registered
users:

There's no extra space in the interrupt that could be patched.
Here's a really awful kludge, though, but it will also disable
running command optimization and therefore increase MIDI traffic
a bit.
Make a backup copy and search the following HEX sequence in OctaMED.
6A10 B23C 00EF 620A B22E 0140 670A 1D41 0140
Replace it with:
52B8 0000 4E71 4E71 4E71 4E71 4E71 4E71 4E71
The above hack increases the long word in location 0.l by one for each
byte that will be sent thru MIDI. Sorry, I don't have time to write a
program to display the results, but any coder should be able to do one
easily. (Enforcer can't be used then, though.)
- Teijo
Installation?
Here's a little C proggy that does what we want.
I use the following alias to run patched OctaMED binary "8m"
(in path), files midimeter.exe, midimeter and midimeter.zsh
copied into the C: directory.
alias 8m "avail -c;data:;run .8m;ram:;wait 30;c:midimeter"
Requirements?
Amiga running OctaMEDv6.? binary, Zshell (on Aminet).
(you can run midimeter.exe separatly too, but it's not so
nice and doesn't open on an OctaMED public screen;
sorry, I am not a programmer but a musician)
Functionality?
Midimeter opens his window on the OctaMED public screen and
counts the bytes sent. Don't forget to close (Ctrl-C) it
before quitting the main program.
