- Multi-Track MIDI - CH Ting
- "MIDI can play a number of tracks simultaneously. This way you can get
a full orchestra running with many instruments, each playing a track. I will
talk about how to program multi-track MIDI, and the file structure which holds
several tracks. I will play a few pieces for your entertainment."

- Meeting Venue - Kevin Appert
- "Cogswell suits me fine, but some might prefer TechShop and Ting has
suggested Gospel Operation International in Burlingame. Nobody seems willing to
discuss it on the SVFIG list, so we'll talk about it at the meeting."

- Book Review and Discussion - All in attendance
- We will discuss a new book by Lisa Simone, If I Only Changed the
Software, Why is the Phone on Fire? Embedded Debugging Methods Revealed in
Technical Mysteries for Engineers.
"This new book manages the unthinkable - it conveys crucial
technical information to engineers without boring them to tears! In this unique
reference, expert embedded designer Lisa Simone provides the solutions to
typical embedded software debugging problems from a fresh new perspective. She
introduces a team of engineers who readers will recognize from their own
workplaces, and then confronts them with real-world debugging scenarios of
progressive complexity, drawing the reader into the 'mysteries' with their new
fictional colleagues, and guiding them step-by-step toward successful
solutions."
This discussion will be scheduled for May.
