Atari-Midi Archives

Boris,

I would suggest looking at Midi View by Jim Johnson. It watches the
midi ports and prints out what is coming in. It is written in 'C'. I
would use 'C' because it is much faster than BASIC.  The source code is
included, so you can press buttons on the keyboard and try to follow
the source code to see what each button does. You would only have to
modify the code to modify the midi codes and send it to Midi out.

I think that you can find 'C' compilers online. Ebay sometimes has a
Mark Williams version up for grabs. You may find the software
elsewhere, but the support documentation is VERY important, so try and
get the entire package.
