| 4107.1 | It works for me! | STAR::ROBINSON | | Wed Sep 12 1990 15:48 | 8 |
| I have used the MED v2.00 program without major problems. The only major
bug I found has to do with saving files with icons. If you shut off that
option it seems to work fine on my 1 meg A500 old Agnus. According to
usenet, last time I checked, a new version is available but is compressed
with some compression program that nobody has. If someone finds an updated
version that works let us know. It is a nice program.

| 4107.2 | It works | NMGV15::LOENDERSLOOT | | Wed Sep 26 1990 10:49 | 6 |
| I have downloaded the ff349 disk again (I'm lucky to be able to
download now directly from my dcl-account to a DECstation350 in MS-DOS
format) and it worked fine, but I'm still interested in the newer
version if somebody can find it.

| 4107.3 | MIDI <-> MED2.13 not working | FSCORE::KAYE | where's my Kama Sutra pop-up book for zero-g | Wed Dec 05 1990 00:07 | 14 |
| I can't seem to get MED2.13 to talk to my MIDI keyboard. I built the
interface and have scoped data moving in both directions, but the
keyboard is silent & i'm not sure what MED is supposed to do with
keyboard input.
Sequence of events...
Start MED
Select MIDI - MIDI ACTIVE, INPUT ACTIVE, channel #1 (keyboard default)
Select SAMPLE - volume 32
Select EDIT - activate EDIT gadget
Play notes on the keyboard - nothing happens!
AM i missing something??

| 4107.4 | Cannot get v2.13 to function | DECWET::DAVIS | nice computers don't go down | Wed Dec 05 1990 14:43 | 6 |
| I have almost the opposite problem. I can get MED 2.00 to work but
MED2.13 either crashes or freezes my amiga. I had "Inventio8" playing
on my keyboard. Did you FTP MED2.13? If I can get another copy(I
FTP'd my copy from abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov) I will troubleshoot.

| I loaded MED2.00 from FF349 and then popped in MED2.13 from TAPE::
I didn't try MED2.00. I did try the Bars&Pipes Demo, but after i finally
figured out what i was doing and got a pipe going for MIDI input, it
hung and i had to reboot (twice). I need a quick utility just to let
me know that things are really working.

| 4107.7 | PD midi tools on one of the Fish. | DECWET::DAVIS | nice computers don't go down | Wed Dec 05 1990 20:33 | 9 |
| There are some PD midi tools on one of the Fish disks. I think it had
some sort of a midi monitor, i.e. showed you what was going out the
midi port.

ps I'll d/l med213 from tape tonight and try it soon. imagine has
caught my attention at the moment. :^)

| 4107.8 | running out of ideas! | FSCORE::KAYE | where's my Kama Sutra pop-up book for zero-g | Thu Dec 06 1990 00:32 | 12 |
| I got MidiTools from FF227. If i select the keyboard & hit the keys
with the mouse i see lots of pulses going to my keyboard, but no
sounds. I tried Midi In to Midi Out, but it hung the machine just like
Bars&Pipes. I tried to send some program changes, nothing. I must
admit that a couple of times while 'mousing' the keyboard i did get a
sustained note from the keyboard. Is this a case of not enough current
to drive the receivers in the keyboard properly. I wired my own cables
straight thru (5<->5, 4<->4, ground on pin 2).
Any ideas welcome...

| 4107.9 | Home made cables | DECWET::DAVIS | nice computers don't go down | Thu Dec 06 1990 04:06 | 12 |
| I am using the ECE midi interface and wired my own cables also. All my
cables are about 15' long. They are not "midi spec" cables but they
work fine. I made them so long ago that I do not remember the
specifics but I did make sure that they were properly grounded.
Someone told me that grounding was critical. I believe I got the specs
from an old "electronic musician" magazine. I am d/l med tonight, I'll
see if it works for me. I would double check the cables, though.

| mark,
I tried med213 from TAPE:: and it locks up my machine also. Might be
due to my non-standard configuration. anyway, I found the article on
midi cables and 5<->5, 4<->4, 2<->2(shield) is the correct cabling. It
was mentioned that cross-connecting the conductors will "lock up" your
unit. It also gave a couple of simple cable testing circuits using 9v
batteries, 3 LEDs and 3 resistors. If you like, I will type them in.

| 4107.11 | problem found | FSCORE::KAYE | where's my Kama Sutra pop-up book for zero-g | Fri Dec 07 1990 11:49 | 8 |
| I found the problem. When i added the EIA <-> TTL converters they also
inverted the signal. I left all the other connections in, so i ended
up inverting the signal again thru the 7404. I bypassed the 7404 and
all works find. Sometimes i can be really dumb. I guess i gotta work
with this digital stuff all the time to keep the brain cells
refreshed.

| 4107.13 | MED (Music EDitor) V3.0 on TAPE:: | STAR::ROBINSON | | Wed Mar 20 1991 19:56 | 8 |
|
I just sent the new version of the MED music editor to TAPE. This
vesion is much larger than past versions and includes sample editing,
a demo, and a bunch of samples in the archive. I haven't tried it
yet cause I just got it by FTP. The LZH file lists OK on VMS and
some USENET folks are giving MED3.0 good reviews.
