[comp.sources.d] Unix MIDI

eisen@contact.UUCP (Martin Loeffler) (03/30/89)

 Has anyone used a Unix machine as a MIDI sequencer? Are there any packages
out there PD or otherwise for this use? I imagine it might depend heavily on
the hardware involved, but I doubt the manufacturers regularly include Unix
sources (or sources of any kind for that matter...). Thanks.

I'd like to do this, some day, too.  I don't have a Unix machine with
a midi port, however.  The only relevant PD code I know of is the
Carnegie-Mellon Toolkit, CMT, by Roger Dannenberg.  It is not for
Unix, rather for ibmpc's, but it can be adapted for Unix.  I've
been working on that.

CMT has a language compiler for Adagio, a semi-readable scoring
language, which translates scores to midi events.

I've posted the CMT manual and a version of the source code for Microsoft
C recently in rec.music.synth.  The package is available also by ftp from
an archive maintained by Brian Kantor at ucsd.edu as
midi/software/ibmpc/CMT.tar.Z.
