MIDI alone is just not good enough. I have Windows on a PC & assume the only sounds I can generate are MIDI (from my Abcs). Unfortunately my Mac friends do not...
... MIDI has no say in how music sounds. The MIDI output simply gives instructions on what to play to a MIDI synthesiser. The quality of that component will...

... Of course if you want to share with friends and be sure of how a piece of music will sound on their systems, MIDI is not altogether reliable. I suppose...

... PCI is internal. External routes for sound cards available to you are usb and possibly cardbus and firewire. I don't know if any of these would have a midi...

... You can do that, but you will be running an old version of MacOS, and you will have to install the old version of BarFly (which is still available), so you...
Thanks Jon; I am looking over my specs. I Have a Dell Inspirion B310. It has an express card slot & I assumed the connector was PCI. I still think the...
Hello Phil; You certainly answered one question. I will just have to try Barfly. I will definitely put up a post once I have given it a spin & heard my tunes...

I have one that I have written in Python. It is BNF based, and runs fairly well. On the caveats section - I have all of the syntax done (it will parse any...

The work you have done so far looks good. It is interesting that when I open the files my volume resets to zero. The problem may well be my 'miscrosoft gs wave...

Dear Willem and early music fans: Talking about baroque music, i would like to ask you the way to put "fingered bass" in the score. Maybe using a kind of...

Hi Jim, Thank you very much! Those chords worked pretty well in 4 out of 5 places, and should have worked in the 5th. I don't understand why it didn't so, I...
