[rec.music.synth] accurate timing for send/receive of MIDI data

jeff@ogg.cgrg.ohio-state.edu (Jeff Faust) (03/25/88)

	I'm interested in doing some very accurate timing for a
	MIDI application on the mac. That is, I need a precise timing
	technique for MIDI playback and recording. Using the
	Vertical Retrace Manager seems to be the obvious choice but
	I don't think an interrupt every 1/60 of a second is fast
	enough for this application. Taking over the timer used for
	sound seems to be another choice. I think it interrupts every
	horizontal retrace. Unfortunately, documentation in Inside Mac
	is pretty sparse in this area. I would appreciate hearing about
	better approaches or recommendations on how to solve this problem.
