- M O T - doc: January 16 1988
-
- MOT is an old program of mine which was written to test some MIDI
- parsing routines. Set your preferences so that the serial port
- is set to MIDI, and then run it. MIDI Note-Ons are displayed as
- Quaver-like triangles, scaled in proportion to the velocity. If any
- Note-On is not matched by a Note-Off, MOT draws a line "Barring" the
- note-shapes together. Pitchbend and controllers cause vari-colored
- lines to be drawn at the bottom of the screen. The sustain pedal
- is represented by a pedal marking.
-
- The vertical lines count off seconds. The
- Keyboard numeral keys change the time-base from 2 second through
- 18 seconds (I think). The F-Keys cause the following things to happen:
- F1) Use triangular shape.
- F2) Use Rectangular shape.
- F3) Don't Bar the notes.
- F4) "Color Cycle"
- MOT may get clogged up by excessive musical activity, and lag behind -
- especially when it needs to clear the screen often. This is because
- it is written in CSI Multi-Forth, which is not very fast.
-
- You can resize the display (and reveal the sizing gadgets) if you
- click with the right mouse button.
- TO EXIT MOT, you can hit the Escape button, and then give it some MIDI input.
- Hitting the close gadget (upper left of the window) will also
- stop the program after some MIDI input.
-
- You can multitask MOT with Music Mouse or other MIDI-generating programs.
- Connect MIDI-OUT to MIDI-IN on the MIDI interface. I think MOT should be
- run LAST in the series of programs for this to work.
-
- DON'T SELL THIS PROGRAM. It's on a few boards already and you won't
- be able to make a dime on it. If you didn't buy it - you shouldn't sell it.

- Have fun!
