A working MIDI setup (MIDI keyboard connected to the computer) and a DO= S program that uses MIDI input. I can't share Score, it's commercial s= oftware that's still being sold. But the Voyetra sequencer is availabl= e for free: http://support.turtlebeach.com/site/kb_ftp/340.asp Obviously this program follows a completely different strategy for read= ing MIDI data. For a sequencer low latency and accurate timing are ess= ential. For notation software this obviously isn't an issue. I guess = Score is taking a more lazy approach. >=20 > P.S. Sorry that you'll have received this twice, the first time I > forgot that VGER detests HTML :-( Let me add my apologies: Obviously I made a mistake and sent my initia= l post twice as well. I'm aware that there has been conflict between Stas and other contribut= ors (or a single maintainer?) in the past which caused him to resign as= a maintainer. I don't know the background of this, but he certainly i= s knowing the internals of Dosemu very well. I would find it pretty sa= d if Stas' commitment wasn't honored and the bug fix would get lost bec= ause of personal resentments. I would really like to promote Dosemu an= d see more people adopting it. Thomas W. ______________________________________________________ GRATIS f=FCr alle WEB.DE-Nutzer: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT!
