- -----------------Short Description-----------------
- MIDI Gate can be used either as a stand-alone MIDI player or as
- a W.W.Web browser helper application.
-
- - MidiGate will start PLAYING as soon as given a filename argument.
- - Seek feature by pointing to the gauge
-
- Some new features have been added to the latest releases.
- - <NEW> Queue all files in one instance
- - <NEW> Save and recall your favorite queues
- - <NEW> Looping, auto-exit, auto-stop control

- - Play one of three midi reset files (GM, GS, Patches)
- - Display path and length of file

-
- Click the "Hint" key in the About form to get an idea...
-
- You should tell your browser that Midi Gate should be invoked
- whenever a Mime = Audio/Midi (or whatever your server sends)
- file is received.
- MIDI Gate will automatically play a MIDI sequence when:
- 1) the browser receives a file with a Mime=Midi header
- 2) it is given a filename as an argument;
- otherwise, it will present a directory and file list to choose
- a sequence interactively.
-
- In case (1) and (2), the sequence will be played even if the file
- received or given has an extension <> ".mid" - which does happen!
- The program will queue itself in if a sequence is received/given
- before another one has finished playing. At the end of play,
- the program automatically terminates, unless you defeat that
- function by clicking the checkbox at the end of the gauge.
-
- Finally, although the program is automatically reduced to an
- icon at start up, it can be restored if one wishes to see or
- control the status of the player.
-
