[Coco] Drivewire?

[Bill Pierce]

Thanks Mr Gault.. I had forgot that the last Lyra you sent would do that. I have to figure out what is going on. I wonder... does Lyra send an "All Notes Off" when it's stopped? or does it send "Note Off"s for the notes that were playing? I know that Umuse uses the "NoteOff" mainly because in the 80s a lot of synths didn't support "All Notes Off" so Mike quit using it. I've tried to include it in the stop routine but I think I had the coding wrong. I will work on it again.

The funny thing is it works fine on one PC (newer quad core AMD running Vista) and not on the other (older P4 intel running XP)

 @Aaron Wolfe... When do you expect to release the new version of Drivewire?

 Speaking of Drivewire, I finally made a boot with the DW Midi driver (i 
ormally use the hardware driver) and give it a shot. I've noticed several 
hings.
 One... if I stop the player on the Coco in mid song, Drivewire isn't 
ranslating something right as the notes do not stop.
 The last playing notes just hang untill I reset DW or play the same song and 
et it finish. I've only tried this on my player for the new program I'm working 
n, but I'll try it in Ubox3, Ultimuse and Lyra. So it may be a problem in my 
layer though it uses the same routines as Ubox3 & Umuse3.
 I'll let you know if it persists. I wasn't having this problem with the 
ardware midi device and a real midi cable running to my PC, driving a VST host.
 The other thing is that I can't seem to get the Roland Sound Canvas to come up 
onsistantly. It plays sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. The Java Midi player 
lays fine. I know the Roland one is actually a windows feature but I think the 
roblem is in DW's way of calling it. I may be wrong, I may just need to update 
he thing. When it does work, sometimes it stutters. I can then switch to the 
ava driver and it works fine, so it's not the incoming data that's stuttering.

Bill,
I think I sent you a version of Lyra for RSDOS that will send MIDI through 
rivewire4. It works reasonably well with a customized CT-460 translation table. 
Drivewire is configured to use Microsoft MIDI mapper.
The main point is that MIDI music stops immediately when I stop Lyra. So, 
othing is wrong with Drivewire in this regard. Your player may not be sending 
he MIDI stop code.
