Hi all ...
Sorry for the english ... like always ..
Well ... recently i'm working on export gmorgan songs sequences in a Standart
Midi File format ... hope this will be ready in a few days ... and working
with this .mid format ... i think is to hard.
I understand ... in july of 1984 when the manufacturers adopts this standart
maybe .mid was really useful ... saves lots of space etc etc ... i ignore the
future plans of manufacturers ... but ... seeing sequencer programs, obvius
each one uses their own file format to work, and can only export or import
midifiles.
I know ... linux comunity is small ... we can't change nothing of the
manufacturer plans, maybe all of this is crazy thing, but i really think we
need a Standart Audio-Midi-SMPTE File Format, on witch the programs can work.
Well i understand ... by now we need this protocols to comunicate with
external devices ... but each day the computers are more powerfull and ... i
read in the last days messages about syncronization of Muse with Ardour .. or
Hydrogen ... ALSA sequencer ... and we need to doit with a 1984 protocol?
Well you know me .. i'm a complete ignorant ... but i think we need something
who runs almost internally in the computer for do this things. Maybe the ALSA
guys want to do something about that? or i'm realyy crazy? :-)
