[Coco] SSC & MIDI

[Bill Pierce]

Jason, the rate of play/length of notes is determined by the sender, not the receiver. You have to have some sort of timing system set up to keep count of the next note(s) to play. That's why it would probably work well in an interrupt loop. I have examples of both OS9 and RSDOS raw MIDI timing from Lester Hands and Mike Knudsen.
If I ever get my "source repository" set up, I want to make all this stuff public. But I'm still working on the browser for OS9 and I want the repository Coco compatible, not just PC access. The FTP browser is on hold till a bug is fixed in the Nitros9 dw4 v-port dwread driver.

Hey Bill,

Just re that post, I went back and had a look at what I was doing re the 
MIDI timing thing I mentioned before.

I was just sending the bytes at a constant data rate so yeah didn’t even try 
to time it :)

That was all I wanted to know until I could convert the BGM to notes and 
build a table etc,

Sorry for being vague, it was a few weeks ago.

And thanks for the MIDI info.

Jason
