Judy,
In a previous message (no response at this time) I write : about
rewriting PlayCommandAgent from RealBasic to Transcript (an
idea... ?), and it is not necessary MIDI (but, I think, the solution
need CoreAudio (QuickTime ?) (for Mac) and equivalent for Windows and
Linux :
"...
For myself, I have 2 needs (requirements ?) : 1. Create MIDI file to
export sequencies to Logic by example. 2. Generate MIDI command
(notes by example) directly to QT synthesizer. The first requirement
is satisfy with a little tool that I have to make in large part with
help of Kurt Kaufman :-), for the second, I do, for the moment, with
SBplay, SBstartNote and SBstopNote of Jon Bettencourt use by
Shakobox. There is few month, Jacqueline say (write) to me that
PlayCommand Agent [PCA] was write with RealBasic. I don't use
RealBasic... But, maybe one of us use RealBasic and put au
disposition le RealBasic code's of PCA so it can be “translated“ and
rewritten in Transcript... and improved and expanded to meet needs
like mine... Pending Revolution implements natively equivalent
commands... It exists in SuperCard, so...
..."
Bons souvenirs de Paris

I certainly wasn't offended.
As for the age of the "young children," well, mine are nearly 8. They
desperately want a cell phone but aren't getting one anytime
soon. ;-)
Yes, they *would* notice latency.
As you say, Kay, in the old days when we all weren't quite so long
in tooth,
we could all roll our own. In HC, I could roll my own tunes
without having
to know the midi spec and with only knowing how to read
sheetmusic. And I
could have sound channels. And without having to use Player Objects,
layered or not. Without latency. Without QuickTime. On the sorts
of older
machines I trust my wee ones with (not mine certainly!).
And now, none of that's possible and FOR NO GOOD REASON. No good
reason.
Again, the problem with MIDI is this: (a) it requires learning the
MIDI
spec; (b) it requires QT dependency. It isn't clean and elegant
and it
isn't internal. And it still doesn't really deal with the sound
channel
issue.
But I'll gratefully accept and support and help pay for an external
that
does help in these areas.
