Hi. Has anyone done any programming using midi.library from Pregnant Badger? Any strories to tell? I'm interested in listening. I've wrote some sys-ex dump/receive programs and I'm interested in writing a full-blown sequencer with it. Is there anything better than these libraries around (either PD or Commercial)? I'm using SAS/C 5.1. BTW, has anyone heard about Keynote language for the Amiga? I saw it in Keyboard Mag. that it's available for the Ami and I was wondering where I can get a copy. Thanks, -- AMIGAMIGAMIGAMIGAMIGAMIGAMIGAMIGAMIGAMIGAMIGAMIGAMIGAMIGAMIGAMIGAMIGAMIGAMIGAMIG J @@ jol@sei.cmu.edu // U \/ (412) 268-7602 \\ // N LEE SEI, Carnegie Mellon University \X/

I got my first synth about a month ago and have been playing with keynote on my a500 since then, and have been having so much fun with it that I haven't gotten around to buying a more conventional sequencer yet. I love to be able to write my own midi functions and customize my funciton keys and enviroment so easily. Being a poor pianist I have a nice method set up to enter music, I play the sequence of notes/chords first out of time, then play the phrase again banging out the rythmn on one key, and presto one call to some built in functions and to some of my own and the rythym of one phrase is applied to the pitch of the other and displayed in the piano roll window. For those of you who are wondering what keynote is, it is a musical programming language and interactive shell for manipulating and generating MIDI data. Algorithmic composition is perhaps its primary application, but it serves well as a general purpose utility, as a matter of fact the main thing I've been using it for so far is sequencing stuff. jeff g. jpg@floyd.att.com my opinions are my own
