Advanced MIDI Programming / Utility

INTRODUCTION: I searched a lot For articles about VB & Midi, found some, but mostly they only handled short messages, the easy part. Here I needed To go further To solve a problem I had. The project turned out To be a bit sizy, but it embeds a lot of knowledge that was hard To find. So it could mean a great deal To someone starting With programming midi. The main objective was To automate convertions of Roland SC-55 System Exclusive Bulk Dumps into a shorter alternative, using as much short messages As possible, so other modules can receive the messages too. Other features are mixing the SC settings, generate fade In/outs, Read & write midi, more Or less wysiwyg printing of the dump values, midi piano, midi thru, etc. PURPOSE: Analyse SC-55 System Exclusive bulk dumps Generate alternatives for this huge bulkdump in case a high percentage are default data Edit the Sound Canvas settings ENVIRONMENT: This is a VB5 project. Since the WebBrowser control is used (provided with Windows 95) it can be run under Windows 95, but Windows NT doesn't install this control (~ SHDOCVW.DLL) automatically, so there you should find a way to install it yourself. No other (than basic VB) controls are used.
