Sincere thanks to all those that answered my querie.
I've downloaded a coy of sequenceXtra and am about to start working with
it to see what it can do (and what I can do with it). It looks like it
is just what I need.
To expand a little just in case someone has any bright ideas:
I have an interactive character (in Shockwave3D) and when the viewer is
not actively interacting with it, it will wonder about its world making
musical sorts of sounds. I imagine it will be playing one note at a time
(or a chord) which is selected randomly or algorithmically but maybe
keeping to some kind of theme (like using the same or similar instrument
or keeping to a particular range of notes or a particular scale).
However it might be useful to keep a memory of the previous notes that
it has played and maybe build a collection of songs or tracks for use in
new "songs". Sorry if this is a bit scattered but I am thinking this
through as I write. And the more I think about it the more sequenceXtra
seems like it might be the perfect solution for me, judging from the
little bits that I have picked up glancing through the manual.
Valantin, I have dowloaded your midi_class file to have a look at.
Unfortunatley I can't play the files as it needs the beatnik Xtra and
all the included Xtras are Win Xtras, and I have a Mac. However I will
have a look at your Midi parent script (assuming that is OK) to see if
they give me any ideas for my project.
Thanks again,
John
