Hi Michael,I'd been to your page before I went to sleep last night. I tried some download links and they didn't work. That is partially due to my Mozilla browser. I gave up before I read about RT.SYNTH. I was pretty tired. I downloaded RT.SYNTH today using the iCab browser (Mac), which has an excellent download manager. I couldn't download the mp3s no matter what I did.
From what I've read on your site about RT.SYNTH it looks like a great accomplishment! I especially like the fact that you can play more than two keys at a time. Nice!
I get the feeling that it won't do MIDI in or out through my Passport Designs MIDI Interface Card. Oh well, it's amazing to me that you even got it to read MIDI files at all. At least I can write a MIDI track for RT.SYNTH, play it, and record it. Would it be difficult to get RT.SYNTH to read MIDI from an outside source?
I own an ALF synth card for the Apple II, which I believe was be the first synthesizer for a personal computer. I haven't used it yet, but it looks like programming it to play music is laborious. Not as nice as loading a MIDI file. I'm really looking forward to firing the ALF up, and especially to using RT.SYNTH.
