Manipulating MIDI Files - CH Ting
Ting will
demonstrate ways to manipulate MIDI files: changing instruments, tempo, and
pitches. He’ll show us how to decode a MIDI file into a Forth text file
which can be edited to change features in the music and then can be compiled
back to a MIDI file. |

Revisiting the Simplest Line Drawing Word - CH
Ting
Ting realized that the simplest line drawing word from Forth
Notebook II (perhaps from the early 80s) can be further simplified. He’ll
show and explain the new code. |
