As > soon as I find an answer to this it goes!) I'm afraid you won't find any. I've been searching for years, and the only thing that is barely useful is a tcl MIDI library. One would have to start from scratch. (I've lost the URL, sorry) Presently, nothing approaches the QBase, which is the only reason why WfWG 3.11 still remains on my machine. MACH might be a better platform for MIDI than UNIX, anyway. You *do* need hard realtime to play that junk. Recording is even worse. Naturally, we're talking about live and studio performances here. Just for fun, you don't really care if one note comes too late :) Hard RT is yet another reason why I prefer DOS based MIDI sequencers: there ain't no OS which *might* disturb their operation. /Marino > > -Sean > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Sean J.
