[rec.music.makers] Free Midi Software available

apolivka@x102a.harris-atd.com (polivka al 60047) (02/07/90)

An article called "Communicating with the Dead" in "Music and
Computers"* mentioned some freeware or shareware midi software that
included a 32 track sequencer for the Atari ST referred to only by the
(file) name "32trkseq.arc".

It also mentioned a TX81Z editor and librarian for the ST called
"txlibr21.arc".

Unfortuantely the article did not mention which bulletin board or
archive site these are located at.  Does anyone have these or know
where I can find them (or source code for any other sequencer for the
Atari ST, preferably written in Pascal)?

Also mentioned were various other "titles" of midi software for
various computers, again without mention of the location.

The article also says that the "WELL" is available over Usenet.  Does
anyone know how to access it via Usenet?

* Every so often, GPI Publications (the folks who publish "Keyboard",
  "Guitar Player", and "Frets" magazines) puts out a "Special Edition".
  "Music and Computers" was one of these.  It was published in May/June '89.
  These special editions are generally exceptionally good, in case
  you aren't already aware of them.  Another very good one of the series
  was called "Recording Musician" published in March/April of '89.

Actually, it's quite the other way 'round - Usenet is available via the
WELL, which is an "online community" operating out of the Whole Earth
offices in Sausalito, Ca.  I co-host the MIDI conference on the WELL,
which in many ways is not so different from rec.music.synth but a little
more personal because of a core of people who know each other participating
over an extended time.  Anyway, the WELL is accessible over Usenet only in
the sense that dWELLers can be sent uucp mail.  The WELL's modem number
is (415)332-6106.  Various forms of low-cost phone access are available -
you can find out about it the first time you sign on, if that's
your inclination.

For those in the Boston area, you can get access to Usenet via the 
"World" - another "online community". The dial up number is
(617) 739-wrld ie. (739-9753). Connect at 2400/1200/300 baud,
and log in as new and create yourself an account.
