- Milton,
- Further to my earlier reply, I have now been informed by Gravis that outboard MIDI was
- not included in the WIN95 driver.
- That's why we cannot use our keyboards.
- The next issue at the end of jan. should be all right.

-
- Well I'm sort of glad it's not only me gets this lock up. It doesn't
- usually take me long to get the keyboard working though. It seems
- more reliable if I turn on the keyboard before starting up the
- computer. I then test it out with the MIDIMON program before trying
- the real sequencer (just because it's quicker to start up in case
- it goes and hangs again).
-
- As for the DMAs and IRQs, I'm pretty sure that the two DMA channels
- have got nothing to do with MIDI (unless it's some funny side
- interaction in the drivers). There's definitely a MIDI IRQ
- though, and we know that MIDI in uses NMI, but I presume that
- MIDI in doesn't work at all for those people with motherboards
- which don't support NMI.

-
- I would assume that an .idf file allows the 'Patch Maps' and 'Key Maps'
- that used to be in the old MIDI Mapper to be set up. The format
- must be documented somewhere. Have people noticed that in the
- MIDI setup dialog, it's possible to set up a 'custom configuration'
- rather than 'single instrument', and at least this allows you to
- map different MIDI channels to different MIDI devices (another
- part of old MIDI Mapper functionality).

- Subject: Importing midi-files in module-editors/composers
-
- Hi everybody,
-
- Lately i put here a question on converting midi files into mods. The
- reaction a recieved made me realise that i should ask for something else
- (thanks to David van Dromme):
-
- - - --> Are there any composer/tracker/module-editors that can import
- midi-files? <--
-
- If so, please drop me a line with the name and version of that program. I'd
- like to convert my songs into modules because write songs in midi-format.
- I'm using non-standard patch mappings and patches for the GUS so spreading
- of the songs in midi-format is rather useless.
-
- Can anyone give me some information on this topic?
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Reinout

- My motherboard does not support NMI, yet it does support MIDI In. YOu
- figure it out. I'm using a cheapo Casio MT-260 for a controller and
