Subject: RE: ABC? gif? MIDI files? internet music 101!!! From: DrWord Date: 13 Jan 98 - 03:07 PM This is just my $.02 worth for Alice. I *really* don't think viruses are a problem, if you avoid XXX sites and hackers|crackers. I work at a high school, and our ISP server is on the campus. We've downloaded hundreds of executable files without virus problems. 99% of viruses are completely harmless, anyway. They just replicate without damaging your hardware or software. Perhaps you can get some of the software by DCC from people you trust. Dennis |
Subject: RE: ABC? gif? MIDI files? internet music 101!!! From: GaryD Date: 25 Jan 98 - 12:31 AM Hi people, Good to get back here..changed server with new Email address: Loomis@EspressoCom.Com...My son Lance was the one who said he could do some conversion of Alan's program for our Mac..About ready, Alan? Meanwhile, thought some of you "oldertimers" might be amused as I was to find my new server is a coffehouse, where instead of people coming to listen to folk music (as in my day)..they come to chat & get on computers & the internet!...times do change! Keep on the sunny side!..Gary

Subject: RE: ABC? gif? MIDI files? internet music 101!!! From: John in Brisbane Date: 26 Jan 98 - 08:26 PM Glad to see that this thread is still active. Before Christmas I had a brief dalliance with WinGroove - shareware which makes my Soundblaster 16 sound card sound somewhat more realistic than the standard synthesized noises. I haven't yet spent the US $20 on the registered version - with the present state of world currency fluctuations it is getting more expensive every day. Would appreciate any feedback please. It is available on http://www.cc.rim.or.jp/~hiroki/english/wgregist.html Regards John |
Subject: RE: ABC? gif? MIDI files? internet music 101!!! From: murray@mpce.mq.edu.au Date: 27 Jan 98 - 01:57 AM Just a word from a hard-core free software user. If you are have MusicTeX installed (and hence TeX). Then there are two free programs to put MIDI files into MusicTeX format. One is Lilypad which is GNU softwsare. There is a version for PC based computers and one for UNIX platforms. You can find it at any site that caries GNU software. The primary site is ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/sound/convert/!INDEX.html The other is Rosegarden. That is the one that I use and I am not sure it available for other than UNIX platforms. It comes with a sequencer, and editor, and facilities to convert MIDI files to TeX files which are in turn printed with the usual TeX printing drivers. I think Lilypad is similar. Both are free! It seems to be a floribund type of software. Murray |
