About: MUSIX.SRC.SHK
Status: Public Domain
Date: November 1, 1999
A few years ago, Babar de StCyr (Jean Pierre Charpentier), the author of MusIX
sent me this amazing IIgs Music file conversion program in it's unfinished DEMO
form with all the source codes included. Some how, I failed to make the source
codes available with the program. Babar later gave me written authority to do
as I wished with all his programs for the Apple II and IIgs. (BTW, I do have the
original letter from the author available for all who want varification).
So, I'm releasing this archive, program and contents accordingly into the public
domain with the authors written consent, in the hope that somebody will take up
with it where the author left off and make this program fully functional to
allow for the SIX - IIgs music file formats to be able to convert from one to
the other.
The original 'DoNoTReadThis' -> ;) - text file within the archive follows, to
give you some understanding of what this p[otentially fantastic program could be
developed to do! Somebody PLEASE FINISH IT UP for all the needs of the IIgs
users today.
FINAL NOTE: Please be aware that the source codes and the program are included
in full within this archive of MUSIX.SRC.SHK.
Enjoy, Develop PLEASE, TIA and Cheers,
Tom

This program needs "mucho" memory. To gain maximum free memory set Ram Disk Max
Size to 0k in Control Panel. Power-off your Apple 2GS. Reboot pressing Shift
key. You must see "No Inits/DAs" message above thermometer. Then come back here!
I'll be back... (Terminator)

For Your Information:
synthLAB:
- Tempo display doesn't reflect tempo variations coded in sequence!
- Tempo display is limited to 99. MF2SL takes care of that.
- Bar display is always calculated to half-note so you must arrange midi
score to half-note *before* convert to synthLAB.
- MF2SL bypass SysEx & all unknown events (ie: type FF 21 meta-events).
midi:
- MusiX is based on 0.06 version of Midi file (March 1, 1988).
- If you find a more recent version please send me a disk or paper list!
- MusiX does not manage MasterTracksPro or MusicWriter files because
these applications can Import/Export midi files directly (MTP 1.04 & MW 2.03).
- MusiX follows MasterTracksPro midi conventions: Track zero contains all
conductor events and track names are notated as generic text event but
track name events. If you know why write me�
Until Time Signature event detection Midi Analyzer assumes 4/4 beat.
- Midi Analyzer manages only format one midi files because there is none
track number reference in format zero midi files and format two is never used.
If Midi Analyzer returns back immediately without analyze, your file is:
Not a midi file or a format zero midi file or a format two midi file.
- Midi Analyzer asks "mucho" free memory (up it can!). Take care of that.
I did a deal between Memory & Speed. Speed won�
There is none direct relation between midi file size and number of events
herein. Ravel Bolero midi file is 348k in size and represents 86980 midi events.
- Today Midi Analyzer is limited up to 32 tracks.
Tips & Tricks:
- Sometimes Open-Apple suppress thermometer refresh so that speed increases.
- Sometimes Solid-Apple short-circuits to end of current track.
