[comp.sys.amiga] Commodore's MIDI Manager

sheffler@colt.CS.CMU.EDU (Thomas Sheffler) (08/22/90)

In a review of Dr T's KCS-3 in this month's Amazing Computing there
was reference to a forthcoming standard called "Commodore's MIDI
Manager."  

For a long time now I was wondering why the Mac world had such a thing
and we didn't --- especially on a multitasking machine where the
natural desire is to run a sequencer and some patch editors all at the
same time.  I've always felt that Bill Barton's MIDI library was a
good place to start-it allows routing of midi messages to multiple
programs as desired.

Does anyone have any information as to what sort of capabilities the
MIDI manager will have?  

	-Will it provide routing of MIDI messages?
	-Is there a way to share a clock?
	-Will there be a way to share MIDI data in memory?
