Download st_m2t11.arc for the ST and pc_m2t11.exe for the PC. The file
m2tex11.inf contains some general information about the package.
I encourage everybody to transfer the package to other (more general) ftp
sites. If you do, please inform me where you uploaded it and in what
directory.
For those of you who do not have ftp access I am still willing to send the
new version by e-mail. Please e-mail your request. It may take one or two
weeks before you receive the package by e-mail.

Q: Is there a tutorial on CSound?

Subject: Re: ... Electronic and Computer Music FAQ ...
Beyond the CSound manual, there is little to help you unless
you take a course in computer music (summer courses, at CCRMA, UIUC,
Brooklyn College, etc.)

Q: What are some good things with which to whack MIDI drum triggers?
A:
From: rich@cygnus.cygnus.com (K. Richard Pixley)
Newsgroups: rec.music.synth
Subject: great sticks for midi pads! (Wam-Rods)
Date: 29 Dec 91 16:44:35 GMT
If you use midi drum pads, run, don't walk, to your nearest phone book
and start calling drum and music stores. You are looking for
something called "Wam-Rods". They should run you $6-8 a pair. They
are translucent softish plastic drum sticks, in several colors. The
BIG win is that they do what they claim to do, which is put the bounce
back in plywood feeling midi drum pads. They also seem to be a little
easier on the pads themselves. I'm not really a drummer, but I don't
play my pads with anything else any more.
The only drawback I can see, is that unless you get the clear ones, or
one of the dark colors, they look awfully "pop"ish.
Disclaimer: I have no material connection to any of the commercial
organizations connected to Wam-Rods (tm) (patent pending) other than
as a happy materialistic consumer.
ps, I like the piss yellow ones best. :-).

Q: What are some MIDI interfaces for 386 UNIX boxes?
A:

MPU-compatible interfaces work fine under UNIX on a 386.
A UNIX device driver called devmidi is available via FTP
(on ucsd.edu and louie.udel.edu). There are changes to
this device driver (also on at least louie.udel.edu)) that
allow it to work with VP/ix, so you can run DOS MIDI software
as well.
For software, there is glib, a free generic librarian/editor.
The glib2 version on louie.udel.edu includes support for the
devmidi driver. Keynote is a MIDI language and extensible
graphical editor that runs under the X Window System, and
works quite well on a 386 platform. It isn't free, but you
can get complete source code for $200. Send email to
tjt@blink.att.com for more info on that.
This may not appear relevant to "nextmusic", but when
NeXTStep becomes available on 386 machines, it may be much
easier to write MIDI software to run on both a 386 and NeXT.
Anyone know if the Music Kit will be enhanced on the 386
to include support for the MPU interface? ...Tim...

Q: What are the names and address of various gear manufacturers?
A:
From: rsk@oldfield.cs.colostate.edu (Rich Kulawiec)
Newsgroups: rec.music.synth
Subject: Synth/keyboard/audio address/phone list
Keywords: synthesizer, keyboard, address, phone, signal processor
Date: 28 Jul 90 15:33:14 GMT
This is just an address/phone list for various gear manufacturers.
For each entry, I've provided the address/phone along with a few
comments. You'll notice that some of the entries are probably out
of date; well, additions and corrections VIA MAIL ONLY are quite
welcome; my intent is to bring this list up-to-date and then to
post it on a regular basis.
Cheers,
Rich
