- Also contained on this disk are several examples of using the MIDI
- library from AmigaBasic courtesy of:

-
- Two files, midi.bmap and exec.bmap, which are required for using the
- midi and exec libraries from AmigaBasic, can be found in the same directory
- as the AmigaBasic demo programs. The demo programs assume that they will be
- found in the current directory when the programs are run. If you start Amiga
- Basic from another directoy, use CHDIR to change the directory to where the
- demo programs are. The .bmap files were created from .FD files with the
- ConvertFD program found on the AmigaBasic/AmigaDemos disk.
-
- Four demo programs are provided demonstrating the use of the MIDI library
- from AmigaBasic:
-
- ht This is a straight translation of the C demo program
- ht which can be found in the :examples directory. It
- sends a user inputed string of hex bytes to the MIDI
- out port.
-
- change This is a simplified version of ht which sends a patch
- change command to the MIDI out port.
-
- czplus This is a simple Casio CZ series patch librarian. It
- also features a random patch generator. CZPlus was
- loosely based on a C64 program of the same name by
- Tim Dowty which was published in Electronic Musician
- in February and August 1987.
-
- cpg This is a MIDI random Chord Progression Generator,
- again based on an article in the April 1988 edition
- of EM, this time by Jim Johnson. The original was
- written for the Atari ST. It composes random chord
- progression based on a scale played in by the user.

- We hope you find these programs useful and informative.
