Hello everybody,
I have a small help to ask from all of you. Before that,
let me inroduse myself. I`m a B.Eng. student from University of
Essex. Currentlly I`m involved in a project based on MIDI and
IBM-AT. The aim is to 'anotate keyboard generated music'.
This is rather new (for me and to some of you) and
rather different for IBM-AT's daily application.
I'd like to see peoples view on this topic. I have a
small questionnaire with this article for which you can give
some comments. I`d certainly welcome any useful views.
The main aim for this survey is to understand peoples view
on this topic. This are for educational aim only.
You can reply to me by E-mail to the following
address.
