Overtone

Hello to all:

              Because I thought it could maybe be beneficial to anyone 
trying to get goin with Overtone, I wanted to report how I finally got 
it to work again.

1. System: An "old" Dell Dimension XPS P166s with ISA slots and only 
           32 Meg of RAM running Windows 98.
2. An "old" Sound Quest PC MIDICARD version 2 set to IRQ 7 at address 
   300.

Notes: (a)The same system with a USB Midi Interface whlile using 
       another K5 editor (e.g. Terzoid Noize) caused problems in 
       the handshake with K5 and would never complete the upload 
       and/or the download hence yet worked with another ISA MIDI 
       interface (e.g. MIDIMAN 1x1). My conclusion was the enhanced 
       speed via the USB port was too fast for the K5 and caused 
       buffer problems.
       (b) Because Overtone is a DOS based program whatever interface 
       you decide to use will have to have the appropriate DOS drivers.
       (c) Although I got my MIDI card to work with IRQ 7 at address 
       300, you will have to set your card to whatever IRQ and   
       address are free and available in your specific system. 
 
Special Thanks again to both Antoine and to Joel.

Yours;
