How do you generate MIDI notes? (I may be writing a simple sequencer)

I don't have time to write a demo, others probably don't either. You can
hack it. :)

Just go in to FB 3 Donations folder, and Derek's Edtris program, and nab
the Sound.incl or whatever it is called. It is a wondrous gift horse.

For stereo, you need to change the init flag.. _initStereo vs. _InitMono

in FN Sound Init

for ChanNR = 1 to _mySoundChannels'loops thru the available channels
osErr% = FN SNDNEWCHANNEL
(gSoundChannel.sPtr&(ChanNR),_sampledSynth,_initStereo,PROC
"EndOfSoundProc") 'make new channel sound
next ChanNR


For panning, Find the SetVolume FN and then change whatever parameters
needed to set an individual channel. Might require some changes. For one,
you won't want to loop thru all the channels setting the volume the same in
your case.
