The best so far is HyperMIDI, by Nigel Redmond. The 1.0 version which you can get for free works fine, but lacks support for timing in general, and the MIDI manager specifically. I talked to Nigel at NAMM, and he's just about to come out with a commercial release with full MIDI manager and standard MIDI file support. I don't know where HyperMIDI 1.0 is available publically other than on PAN. If you can't find it for free, you can write to Nigel directly for a copy of 1.0 and info about the 2.0 release, but he wants $30. EarLevel Engineering 21810 Barbara Street Torrance, CA 90503 I'd offer to mail it to you, but its too large to send through e-mail. -- Oishii Ichigo | "Unhappy? How 'bout a blast from my FUN GUN!"

There are MIDI XCMDs and XFCNs in Developer's Stack 1.2r. These have no fee attached. HyperMIDI 1.0 is shareware. Like other shareware, you can obtain it for whatever it costs you to download it from a BBS or ftp it from ucsd.edu, but if you want to use it or distribute stacks written using it, the shareware fee is $30. HyperMIDI 2.0 is also going to be shareware, but the projected fee is something like $195, with a discount for users registered for 1.0. (Yes, it's a lot of money, but Nigel's goal is that you will be able to write some pretty amazing stuff, such as sequencers and algorithmic composition tools, with it.) -- David Elliott dce@smsc.sony.com | ...!{uunet,mips}!sonyusa!dce (408)944-4073 "If I had a hat the size of Oklahoma, I'd be a happy person."
