Also contained on this disk are several examples of using the MIDI
library from AmigaBasic courtesy of:
Jim McConkey
Triangle Audio, Inc.
P.O. Box 1108
Sterling, VA 22170
Two files, midi.bmap and exec.bmap, which are required for using the
midi and exec libraries from AmigaBasic, can be found in the same directory
as the AmigaBasic demo programs. The demo programs assume that they will be
found in the current directory when the programs are run. If you start Amiga
Basic from another directoy, use CHDIR to change the directory to where the
demo programs are. The .bmap files were created from .FD files with the
ConvertFD program found on the AmigaBasic/AmigaDemos disk.
Four demo programs are provided demonstrating the use of the MIDI library
from AmigaBasic:
ht This is a straight translation of the C demo program
ht which can be found in the :examples directory. It
sends a user inputed string of hex bytes to the MIDI
out port.
change This is a simplified version of ht which sends a patch
change command to the MIDI out port.
czplus This is a simple Casio CZ series patch librarian. It
also features a random patch generator. CZPlus was
loosely based on a C64 program of the same name by
Tim Dowty which was published in Electronic Musician
in February and August 1987.
cpg This is a MIDI random Chord Progression Generator,
again based on an article in the April 1988 edition
of EM, this time by Jim Johnson. The original was
written for the Atari ST. It composes random chord
progression based on a scale played in by the user.
We hope you find these programs useful and informative.
