Tie Soundscape to the MIDI input??? This is an intriguing suggestion, but shouldn't it be tie SS to the MIDI output? In other words, using SS to intercept the MIDI output from KCS and route it to play the voices. How exactly would I do this? I have 2 1/2 Megs, so memory shouldn't be a problem Would I use the patch panel to intercept the KCS output? I'll experiment a little, but if you could be a little more explicit, it would help. But thanks for the suggestion–I wondered if that might be possible. I got a later message from Dr T's saying that they will come out with an update in 2 ths that will support Amiga voices (and also that their patch editors are [Cshipping now.) That will solve the immediate problem, but not the file compatib ility issue. Although if I can use SS to convert MIDI data back and forth, it may not be a problem since I could go from KCS to SS and then to SMUSconvert to get an IFF file that would fit with DMCS. (Don't you just love these acronyms!!) Beyond this conversion problem, it would be nice to use the two programs together so I could tie in a graphics program that responded to MIDI data. I think one is available on the Soundscape Utilities Disk 2; the latest Mimetics brochure also mentioned a separate program that would do something similar. In addition I hear there is a PD program that will update The Director to respond to MIDI input. The inter- action of music and graphics really interests me. It would be great to get a setup that allows the (predefined) graphic sequences and animations to respond to real time input from MIDI. Interesting. Thanks for your help. Phil
