Mary's first video project was the MushcakeVideo. That's a completely separate gig. As is the EighthGradeVideo.

Tonight (29Jan2002) I'm trying to figure out how to reproduce the music, but not the voices, from Mediate by INXS.

So far, I've got rosegarden (DebianPackage:rosegarden) to produce a very simple 4-measure piano solo, which I can play with DebianPackage:timidity and DebianPackage:timidity-patches.

I'm trying to figure out percussion now.

Hmm... grab this ROCKN4 midi drum thingy and look at it in the rosegarden sequencer's event view...

program change: 9 1. seems to use channel 9 for drums... aha! fidgeting with the rosegarden staff menu until I get "percussion set 1" and setting the percussion channel to 9 works! I'm rollin now...

Keep this handy: midi drum map

Hmm... hi-hat closed, 42/F#3 seems to be out of rosegarden's range.

Hm... there's a noteedit entry in this "shareware" index. ah... good: DebianPackage:noteedit .

wow... Musical notation codes: SMDL, NIFF, DARMS, GUIDO, abc, MusiXML

Ah... here we are: bit-tweezers for midi: XMidi .
