I am trying to decide whether to get an IBM compatible or an ST to use for programming some novel MIDI processing ideas. I know a fair bit about IBMs, but almost nothing about the ST. Any opinions on which machine is better for programming MIDI applications? The machine will have to perform calculations while acquiring MIDI data. This can be done on IBMs with an interrupt driven routine. Can the same be done on the ST? One apparent advantage of the IBM compat is that there is lots of sample MIDI source code available in the public domain and from various vendors. I can save time and effort by modifying these sources rather than starting from scratch. Are there MIDI sources available for the ST? Any tips gratefully received. Chris Darken darken@cs.yale.edu
