Subject: RE: MIDI Volunteer Sought
Mary: Is the tune-o-tron generated midi not as precise as a Cakewalk generated midi? Susan, do my midis look OK in Noteworthy?

The tune-o-tron uses abc2midi to convert. I have found this program to be very reliable at producing midi to listen to but have never looked at the output in Cakewalk. Cakewalk does differ from abc followed by abc2midi and Noteworthy for that matter in that it is dedicated sequencing software. OK Cakewalk does have it's own format as well as MIDI but everything is event based. The other 2 systems mentioned are notation systems that can produce a MIDI. If I was to analyse a MIDI and found there were descrepancies, Cakewalk would be the 1 of the 3 I trust.
