A friend of mine recently purchased a MIDI synthesizer and a Mac/MIDI intereface; since then he and I have been trying to write code in THINK C to control the beast. We seem to have initialized the serial driver properly, but the bytes that FSRead returns are not recognizable opcodes (we are trying to monitor the serial port while playing the keyboard). If anyone has writen source code for this purpose that they would be willing to share, or has hints on working with MIDI and the Mac serial driver, I'd appreciate mail. Thanks, Dirk athame@athena.mit.edu

You should use Apple's MIDI Manager rather than mess around with the hardware directly. Then again, Apple should be more forthcoming about publicising it and making it available (you need to get it from APDA, I think). Give me a shout if you want some example code. > Dirk Nick Rothwell, Laboratory for Foundations of Computer Science, Edinburgh. nick@lfcs.ed.ac.uk <Atlantic Ocean>!mcsun!ukc!lfcs!nick ~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ Hey, son, get that DeLorean off the track!

So far I've gotten three different responses to my request for a MIDI driver. * Craig Ruff cruff@ncar.ucar.edu mailed me some C/Assembly code that I have not yet ported to Think (from Aztec) * Several people recommended that I use APDA's MIDI Manager * I found a Hypercard stack / set of XCMD's called HyperMIDI available by anonymous ftp from ucsd.uscd.edu I can mail copies of the first to anyone who wants it (and of the third if you can't get the ftp to work).
