I know i have seen the source for a program that displays IFF pictures on the screen (ex. slide show). I am looking for the source for such a program so that i can modify it to be controlled from a MIDI interface. The thought is to use a control file, that associates a given note with a given picture. When that note comes over the MIDI interface the picture would be displayed. If you can help me out please send mail to ihnp4!ihlpm!nevets Thanks Steve Ringwood

One of the things I like about SoundScape is the ability to add modules to the system fairly easily (See Amazing Computing V2, #5, pp 27). Soundscape takes care of the MIDI stuff for you, and you can just sit and wait for the Note events for displaying a picture. All of the IFF readers I have used (including uShow which is probably the fastest) are pretty slow. You might want to preload some images into fast ram and allocate enough chip ram for a picture buffer. Then when the note arrives you could move the picture into the buffer really quickly. (About .04 seconds for a low res picture using mov.w (An)+,(Am)+ ). --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
