[comp.sys.atari.st] MIDI codes & KERMIT troubles

chevalet@imag.UUCP (05/19/87)

subject :
Hello, I'm a french Atari user wich have some little trouble with
KERMIT. I own a CASIO CZ1000 too, and hope for a sympathetic news reader
for some informations about the EXCLUSIVE MIDI CASIO CODES !.

KERMIT troubles:
It seems i have an old fashioned version of the famous KERMIT program :
my KERMIT don't understand the 'star conversion' (ie. name.*). So,
can anyone send me a new and fast version and some documentations of
KERMIT ??? (i've got an other one, but it runs very very slowly ...and 
i haven't any docs, so i don't understand some capability of KERMIT)

CASIO CZ1000 help:
I want to do a little program to store the sound of my CASIO. BUT 
i need to know how this casio synthesizer send his sound codes through 
the MIDI network. I know that it use the so called "EXLUSIVE MIDI CODES"
but i haven't any informations about it. There is nothing about it
in my CASIO's book and the french importer knows nothing about it.
So I hope to some reader who will send me these exlusive midi codes for
my casio. Thanks in advance ...

   The MIDI specification, as written, requires hardware manufacturers
   to place their 'system exclusives' in the public domain.

   Therefore, there are no hidden, 'double-secret' codes; to get the device
   numbers, the manufacturer must have published (clever of Sequential
   Circuits to think this up, eh :-) )

   I suggest you write to Casio, or the editors of 'Electronic Musician'.
   Their address is:

      Electronic Musician
      2608 Ninth Street
      Berkeley, CA 94710
