Hi Joe-- It seems you're already doing a portion of what I need to accomplish in a project of my own- since you're offering, I'd love to see the schematics and code for your project because I need to construct a digitally-controlled dimmer using a PIC. Where could I find your schematics and code? Can you e-mail them? Frankly, I've found Cakewalk to be a little weird in how its implemented- it's just kind of non-intuitive, especially when compared to a sequencer like Vision. As for your problem, I don't know of a Windows solution, but there are little midi-tester gizmos at music shops that will read the datastream and readout the sent code. Another way to do it would be to build a little device like that for yourself, using maybe a Stamp II and an LCD display. The Stamp II can send/receive at any baud rate up to 50,000 bps. Hope this helps, and thanks-- --Alan McFarland At 04:38 PM 12/8/97 -0500, you wrote: > I also have a MIDI project going on now. > > 4 channel MIDI controlled light dimmer running on a PIC16C63. > I can receive characters from a keyboard (thru a RS-232 to current loop > adapter), read the AC zero crossings, read the dip switches, and dim the > lights....
