EMUSIC-L is meant for the discussion of methods and techniques; marketing

Subject:      DIY MIDI for the IBM-PC

	I am a pianist who has recently started playing around with a
synthesizer. I now want to interface this with my prehistoric 8086 IBM-PC, so I
can start overlaying different tracks, editing my work etc. However, on a
shoestring budget (those student grants always were inadequate!) I can neither
afford to upgrade my PC nor spend the 250 odd pounds that a commercial MIDI
interface and sequencer would cost.

	Therefore I have two questions I would like to ask the list.

	Firstly, does anybody out there have any information regarding DIY MIDI
interfaces for the IBM PC. The only reference for this that I have found is an
old article in the June 1986 issue of Byte magazine.

As I understand things there are two problems with the design:

1.	It uses a UART to transfer data.
	This will cause timing problems as the computer is trying to run both
the program and the data transmission simultaneously.

	What I think I need is an intelligent microprocessor-based unit which
will work with all MPU-401 compatible PC MIDI software.

2.	It is hard-wired to interrupt IRQ2.
	This means that there is a good chance of there being a conflict
between the card and other equipment.

	Having said this, does most available music software support
alternative interrupts?

	Ideally, someone out there would have a nice circuit diagram, or
reference for one, for a reliable, modern MIDI interface. However, any
information or advice that you could give me would be greatly appreciated.


	Secondly, has anyone got any information/experience about public domain
or shareware MIDI software for the PC? In particular are there any MIDI
sequencers available? Also, where are the best sites for PC MIDI software?


Many thanks in advance for your replies,

	Uh, the name of the band is Trance Mission, not Virgins in the
Sun.  They play Seattle, Portland, Eugene, and 3 dates in the SF Bay

Subject:      Performer DTLe problem
Comments: To: EMUSIC-L@AMERICAN.EDU

I have experienced a number of glitches using Performer/MTP with
SMPTE.  The worst of which seems to be errors in the reading of
time code which cause performer to jump from record to play mode.

I recently stopped using DTLe, which seems to have been part of the
problem.  Using performer/MTP and MIDI Time Code I am getting
better results EXCEPT for the first 2-3 seconds after I press the
record button:  Performer jumps into play mode, then a second or third
press of the record button puts it back into record where it stays
for the rest of the take.

This problem has been occuring with a second master tape made at
a professional studio.  I am beginning to wonder if Performer/MTP and
DTLe or MTC are inherently unreliable when using them with a consumer
deck.

Has anyone had this problem and managed to have fixed it?

Thank you in advance.

I went to a MIDI session at CCI a few months ago, and meant to post a
note here about it, but never got around to it. It is a very nice place
with all of the latest in Apple computers, laid out so that each person
gets their own workstation, and the teachers screen is projected at the
front of the class so that everyone can follow. The synths were M1's.
I don't have a lot of time now to give a complete description, but if
you have any specific questions feel free to email me.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          For users of Advance Release 3.0 Circulation Users Manual:
          We have determined there is an error in the instructions on
          p.14 of chapter 12.
          The instructions for changing an item status code should
          say:  "Enter the status code  TO WHICH you want to change at
          the Enter Item Status code: ... "
          The screen display logically follows the instructions in the
          book as far as they go.  However, in use, there is no way to
          "get to" (Option lines are notably missing) the 'Item status
          to add:' and ' Item actions to delete:' lines on the screen.

          The cursor goes directly from the Enter Item status code to
          the Barcode title area.
          Also disconcerting: When the user has completed listing all
          barcodes for items to be changed and <returns> at the next
          barcode prompt, the screen data disappears without any
          indication that the changes have been made.

          Our experimentation resulted in correct status code changes
          when we entered the desired new status
           instead of the old one to be changed.
          Perhaps this has been fixed in Release 4.0?

In trying out the Serials Module, I added a copy set that I now
want to delete.  Although the option "DELETE COPY SET" does appear
on the screen, when I try to use it I get a prompt for a
password.  Needless to say, nobody was given the password and
we don't know where and what tables control it.

WE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM OVER A MONTH AGO AND STILL HAVE NOT
RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE.

Would somebody please call me and tell me how to access the
password for this option?? Or at least tell me what the
password is so that I can delete the extra copy set??

Thank you.

Kathy - we have 3 reasons for including the year as part of the claim
and PO #s:

1.)  We need a separate UNIQUE purchase order # which is easily
identifiable from PO #s used by the rest of the campus (because we
do not write our own checks).  Just by looking at the format of the
PO # we can tell its for the library.

2.)  When generating reports we can tell how many POs were done in the
fiscal year.

3.)  For auditors, they would have to go online to audit us, so the
auditors would know that we are charging the current PO against the
correct fiscal year.

That's how it was explained to me.  If you need more clarification,
feel free to call or ask for more info.

I, as list owner, and Geac, as software supplier, would like to request
that people NOT post passwords, either actual or "guesses" to the list.
There are some 150 members of the list, and it is also ported to Usenet
as bit.listserv.advanc-l.  There are an unknown number of readers on Usenet.

The passwords in question are NOT secret from Geac customers/users with a
need to know.  To find out the relevant passwords, simply phone the 800
number in Dallas (800-229-2148) and your site contact or another appropriate
Geac person will tell you.  The passwords are not anything that will allow
anyone to trash your system or anything, but still......it seems just good
common sense to NOT disclose them in a public forum.

Dear Diane;

Hi, my name is Mary Burk and I work as a library assistant at San Francisco

State University.  The reason I did not respond to your survey was because

one was not sent to me.

However, I did want to mention to you a flaw in your approach.  And not

becuase I did not receive a survey letter.  It has to do with I think question

7. asking if you are a librarian with a master's degree, etc.  And then if

not, go to question 14.

Well, in case you didn't know, library staff in many public and school
 librariesmake viable contributions to how, when and why things are done.  In
 fact,

I am disappointed that you address this response summary to an Advance Users

Group, not geared towards librarians but towards a larger audience.  One that

comprises people at all levels of production, implementation, etc.  Towards

an audience that in libraries does not only consist of librarians.

Although this is the first time I have seen such a survey, and I have only

been using telecommunications for one year, I would have been much more

interested in a survey that did not unecessarily limit it's audience.

Especially a survey that could have had the capacity to produce a picture

on such a relatively new informations source.

With interest,
