I've recently borrowed a keyboard (Korg 707) and MIDI interface (Studio Plus Two) and so I've been experimenting with the MIDI examples on my NeXT, but without much success. Something in either the MIDI driver or Mach (???) won't let me run the demos: ------- playmidifile ------------------ zephyr> playmidifile -f DrugsAreDeath.midi using midi port: A *** Level 0 Midifile with 1 track[s] become owner : access requested to existing exclusive access port. ------- MidiPlay ---------------------- No response whatsoever using both Port A and B. What do they mean by the top port, anyway? ------- playscorefilemidi ------------- zephyr> playscorefilemidi </NextLibrary/Music/Scores/Gamelan.score Music Kit : Problem opening Midi device. Mach Error: ownership rights required playing.... Music Kit : Problem opening Midi device. Mach Error: ownership rights required -------------------------------------------- Anyone have any ideas on this? It happens the same whether I am root or not. I shut down and rebooted, and playmidifile worked for two trials before refusing to play anymore. Sigh..... If you e-mail, I'll summarize. Thanks in advance for any help. - jiro nakamura - jiro@heights.cit.cornell.edu
