MIDI.THD --- Copyright 1987 by Phil Wheeler An original compilation of Compuserve Model 100 Forum messages for use by Forum members only. Sound generation is a built-in capabiltiy of the M100's ROM Basic. A number of music composition programs in DL6 employ this feature. MIDI provides a much higher level of computer-based music composition. Is there a MIDI capability for the model 100, et al? That question is the basis of this collection of messages. Message range: 145568 to 145775 Dates: 4/15/87 to 4/17/87 Fm: Paul Edgerton 72527,2365 To: Denny 76703,444 haven't been around for awhile... Any info about MIDI interface/software for the M100? Also, is the any easy (read quick) way to search DL's for info bout specific topic? Thanks, Paul. Fm: Tony Anderson 76703,4062 To: Paul Edgerton 72527,2365 You can search the DL's by keyword very quickly. Decide on a single word that might be used to describe the program or file(s) you'd like to review, and use the command S/KEY word to get a list of all files with that word listed in the keyword line. For greater accuracy, get a description of each file by using the command BRO/KEY word. Suppose, for example, you were looking for files or programs that would relate to construction... keywords might be construction, contractor, or building. You could get a list of files (if any) with the command S/KEY construction. You often have to try several keywords, because authors often don't think of every one that might apply. Fm: Paul Edgerton 72527,2365 To: Tony Anderson 76703,4062 Thanks, tony. Gee, lotsa talk about new drives, etc. I oughta come around her more often! Much catching up to do. Fm: Denny Thomas 76703,444 To: Paul Edgerton 72527,2365 Good to see you back. How's the studio going? There is one system that I know of that is sold by RMD & Assoc. as a whole system. It's very pricey ($1200) but has a 220K note memory. Denny/ Fm: Jon Diercks 73327,2353 To: Denny Thomas 76703,444 Can you get us an address for that company? I'm a Music/Business major at college, and I'd LOVE to find a way to do MIDI tricks with my M100! Also, do you know of any notation software for the 100? I'm working on writing a notation program of my own, and I'd like to know if anything else is available. In addition, I need info on graphics programming for the Star-Gemini 10. I bought mine used without a manual. Thanks! Fm: Denny Thomas 76703,444 To: Jon Diercks 73327,2353 Address is: RMD & Assoc. 5265 Grandview Yorba Linda, Ca 92686 714-777-3180 You might check out COMPOZ.100 and .DOC in DL6 for notation and MUSIC.CAT for a listing of all music related files. Fm: Paul Edgerton 72527,2365 To: Denny Thomas 76703,444 Hello once again Denny! The studio is finished, folks are amazed at what we've got there. I tried to call RMD once and got a disconnect notice. What gives? Been thinking a hardware interface ought to bee easy, its the software that could mess me up. I'll keep thinking about it, though. Love the new daytime rates! ...Paul Fm: Denny Thomas 76703,444 To: Paul Edgerton 72527,2365 That's too bad about RMD. I just steered someone else to them. I guess we'll see if there is a problem or not. Fm: Jon Diercks 73327,2353 To: Denny Thomas 76703,444 If those guys are defunct, I probably won't bother writing them. Thanks anyway. Know of anybody else doing anything big music-wise with the M100? Fm: Denny Thomas 76703,444 To: Jon Diercks 73327,2353 Well, we don't know if they are out of business, but a disconnected phone is sure a good sign of it! Let me try from my end, I might have some luck here locally. There was a BBS that was devoted to MIDI in Atlanta and was M100 friendly. Right now, my info on them is buried under tons of other junk, but you might try a scan of DL6 with BRO /KEY MIDI or BRO /KEY BBS. It might turn up their info. Fm: Jon Diercks 73327,2353 To: Denny Thomas 76703,444 Thanks. I'll see what I can find. Keep me posted on anything else you turn up. I suppose the real way to go anymore is the Apple //gs, but that's another story (and another price range!) --jon--
