If you want to play more than one patch from one midi channel try gusorgan.
The program  included in gusorg.exe that I uploaded to epas will play up to 
16 patches from any midi channel.  It receives midi data over the midi adapter
and plays patches that you have selected.  It also has a demo command that
will play a Bach song using the patches that you have selected.

All midi channels are mapped to one internal channel and that one channel controls the patches.  You can turn patches on and of from the computer keyboard.

	This digest issue is meant to replace the truncated one sent
out earlier today.

	Unfortunately, the articles in it were lost.  Please resend
your message if you sent one in yesterday.

	I've now put in measures to insure that will make it MUCH less
likely that we'll lose messages, even if the digest barfs like it did
last night.  Of course, I've put the code in a little late... :-/

I have checked out several books from our library, and have been examining
various midi files, and soon hope to have a decent description of the midi
file format. It is a strange beast! 
If anyone has any good docs that they could mail me, I would greatly
appreciate it. 
When finished, I will either post it to the digest or upload it to epas,
depending on how long it is.

Hi,
	I'm writing this to the person who uploaded MIDPAC.ZIP on epas.  I
tried to play the midi files, but I always get this error message:

Error: Expecting MTrk, corrupt midi file?

	Are the midi files in a format unreadable by PLAYMIDI?  Should I
use a conversion program?

Message-ID: <9304231926.AA07867@itchy>

	I've always wanted to meet readers from the list, and now I
have the chance.

	I'm going to be in the San Francisco Bay area on May 4-6.  If
any of you are out there and would like to get in touch, let me know.
(Essentially, I'm going to have a lot of free time out there and I
don't know anyone in the area, so I'm looking for something to do. :)

	I could make T-shirts...

The demo is fine until the story is over and the load game/save game/
end game is displayed.  

This screen is SOOOOO dim I have to turn the brightness and contrast up
ALL THE WAY to even read the thing.

Then when the game starts when it displays the ship in orbit around the
solar system the display is still SOOOOOO dim I can't even  see what is
going on.

Does anyone else have this problem????

I have a Genoa WindowsVGA 24 VL-BUS video card.

What's the story.
