[Coco] Utilmuse 3 Manual

[Bill Pierce]

Ultimuse3 added very many features after v4. The list would be pretty big. Michael Knudson never added the midi record function and it was always just a sequencer/player. The 8.11 version should load your old files fine. You'll get a version warning but it loads. It would be best then to re-save in the new version. I used Umuse extensively for about 10 years for recording and live performance and saw it grow to probably the most stable midi software for the Coco. If you really need a midi recorder for the Coco, you can try finding "Coco Midi (2) (3) (Pro)" package by Lester Hands/Speech Systems. I haven't seen it in any of the archives but someone may have it. I would love to see it added to the archives. I have a 5 1/4 disk of "CoCo Midi Pro" somewhere but have no way of copying it as I have no coco or floppy drives (even on my PC). I never got to use it because I didn't have a midi interface (required) and my coco died about a month after I purchased the software. I was waiting on a midi interface from Glenside UG but something happened to the project and they never finished it. I use midi extensively in my home studio on my PC still, to control about half my outboard FX gear and to compose/sequence backing tracks for singers and solo musicians. The capabilities of midi equipment and software these days is amazing.

> The manual IS on RTSI... look os9/soubndutils and look for Umdoc811.lzh
 (documentation disk) Ume3811.lzh (program disk). There is also a
 shareware version but the 8.11 version is better. I think there was a
 9.11 version somewhere but I'd have to search it down. Keep in mind...
 Ultimuse3 requires a MIDI keyboard and either a MIDI interface cart or
 a serial to midi cable. If needed I can post the info on making the
 serial to midi cable. Without the keyboard there is no sound.
That says my version, 4.7.2-1, is indeed old.  I have no clue how much was 
hanged, and what might not be supported that originally was.  At one point 
 long time ago I had a crystal swapped rs-232 pack that could do midi 
peeds, and that could work simultainiously with the bit-banger to actually 
rive two keyboards, so I had 12 voices available, 4 on the MT-240, and 8 
n the Casio CZ-101.  Sadly, the CZ-101 has succumbed to leaking batteries, 
ut I see wifey Dee has the MT-240 out like she was going to use it at the 
enior Center sometime.
Did it ever grow the ability to record and then edit what was played on the 
eyboard?
Thanks Bill.
Cheers, Gene
