midiForth - CH Ting
"I am trying to build a midi-translator which reads a midi file and
outputs a Forth text file which has midi messages in Forth source code form.
This Forth text file can then be compiled by a midi-compiler to regenerate the
original midi file. Translating a midi file to a Forth text file allows one to
edit and to modify a midi file. It also allows one to compose music in text and
then play it on midi instruments, Media Player, or any such PC utility. My own
purpose of this midi-translator/midi-compiler is to play the Bach organ music I
had already coded. If it works, I will retire my old 4.77 MHz PC clone (with
the CRT display, the 12 channel counter timer, and 6 speakers), and reclaim the
lab space."
