The following Midi applications have been uploaded to the ucsd.edu anonymous ftp server which archives a variety of Midi software, synthesizer patches, sequences, and general information. MiniTrax 1.54: "small" Midi sequencer and sample sequences CZ Librarian 3.0: patch librarian for Casio CZ synthesizers Kamikaze DX: patch librarian for Yamaha DX synthesizers Q-Lib: patch librarian for the Ensoniq ESQ-1 synthesizer MidiScope 1.1: MIDI data analyzer/utility Bulk Sysex Utility: generic system exclusive data transfer utility The files were uploaded in the usual Mac "filename.sit.hqx" format, meaning that the files were first compressed with StuffIt 1.5.1 and then "BinHexed" to convert them to a portable ascii format. Specific Mac-oriented "How to ftp" instructions explaining the downloading procedure can be found in the periodic "Frequently Asked Questions" posting in the comp.sys.mac.announce newsgroup. These applications were included on a "Public Domain" diskette that ships with Altech MIDI interfaces. They are distributed by Altech mainly as a way of promoting their popular MIDI programming software packages, "MidiBasic" and "MidiPascal". All of them require an Apple Macintosh computer, MIDI interface, and MIDI synthesizer in order to run them. Altech Systems offer many Midi products for the Apple Macintosh including inexpensive MIDI interfaces. Their address and phone number: Altech Systems; 122 Faries Industrial Park Drive; Shreveport, LA 71106; (308)868-8036. -- Bill (johnston@oscar.ccm.udel.edu) -- 38 Chambers St.; Newark, DE 19711; (302)368-1949 Disclaimer: I am a satisfied owner/user of the Altech Midiface II Mac-to-MIDI interface. I have no other connection with Altech Systems.

They were put in the /midi/software/macintosh directory. I don't have the IP address; it isn't given in the README file that is listed in the /midi directory. Would anyone from ucsd care to provide an IP number for people on hosts without "smart" name-servers? -- Bill (johnston@oscar.ccm.udel.edu) -- 38 Chambers St.; Newark, DE 19711; (302)368-1949

I would like to add that it's very nice of the folks at UCSD to provide resources for a MIDI ftp site; let's take advantage of it by uploading patches and sequences. -- Bill (johnston@oscar.ccm.udel.edu)
