Emax

Hi Chip,

Yeah, I would find MIDI file <-> Emax sequence conversion useful for
improving the timing on playback and syncing the Emax sequencer to
external non-MIDI devices via the external clock input. Slightly
different applications but the same requirement!

Regards,

Tristan

that's exactly what i mean tristan!!!

the conversion from standard midi to emax would be a great tool. (we 
only need note on/off, velocity, mod/pitch wheel, midi channels and 
tempo information)
OK it's a scratch seq, but it could be very very very useful for live 
performances. (like factory -well quantized- sequences)

tnx for your answers!
