-
- The following programs included with this file, SysEx, ProgChange, MIDI
- Keyboard, MIDI In to Out, Echo Processor, DXSwap, Matrix6Ed and FB-01Ed are
- part of a general purpose tool kit I work on now and then. The programs
- included here are NOT public domain, but are freely redistributeable to users
- groups.
-
- All make use of the midi.library written by Bill Barton of Pregnant
- Badger Software. This allows more than one program to use the serial port.
- AmigaDOS version 2.0 is required for any program that uses a file requester.
-
- Some documentation follows, everything should be pretty obvious. Some tools
- have initial parameters set up in the .info file, so check it out. You may
- run most of the programs (noneditors) up to nine times at once.
-
-
- MIDI In to Out
- Just like it says, this sends all MIDI messages recieved back on out.
- You may turn off pressure and sysex messages if you wish.
-
-
- ProgChange
- Send a program change message. A double click on the menu button will
- bring up a requester to change the midi channel.
-
-
- MIDI Keyboard
- Velocity is sent according to vertical placement. A double click on the
- menu button will bring up a requester to change the midi channel.
-
-
- Echo Processor
- Module to delay and resend midi messages. 1 to 31 repititions. User may
- select pitch and velocity data offsets for on/off messages.
-
-
- SysEx
- File midi system exclusive data dumps on disk. Can be used for any
- nonhandshaking type of data dump. Error detection for the DX7, FB-01, and
- Matrix 6 is implemented. SysEx saves the complete message from $f0 to $f7,
- so you can do things like
-
- copy datafile.synth to ser:
-
- at a CLI prompt if your preferences are set to MIDI baud rate.
-
-
- DXSwap
- Allows you to rearrange voices in two different 32 voice bulk data dumps.
- No MIDI I/O is done.
-
-
- Matrix6Ed
- A complete Matrix 6/1000 editor. Loads and saves in same format as SysEx.
- This program is shareware. The suggested fee is only $10.00.
-
-
- FB-01Ed
- A complete FB-01 editor. Loads and saves in same format as SysEx. This
- program is shareware. The suggested fee is $20.00 as it more polished than
- Matrix6Ed.
-
-
- You may also purchase the source code to all of these programs for $50.00,
- which might give you a head start on writing your own synth editor.
-
- These modules will be updated to use the official Commodore midi.library,
- if and when that ever gets released.
