Hi, All, Please excuse some impertinent questions from this newbie on the MIDI-Perl list. I would like to use MIDI-Perl to create a CGI program that would assist us in tuning instruments to at least three different gamelan orchestras, each of which has two tuning systems. Every pitch can be assumed to lie "between the cracks" of the familiar Western scale. I would like to have an interface that takes numerical values in units of Hertz to generate the tones. I can't tell if MIDI-Perl already has something like this. (Perhaps I can throw something together using the pitch wheel...?) Sean Burke was kind enough to mention that someone may already have investigated this. Since I want it to run as a CGI program, I would need the MIDI .pm's to exist on my ISP's server. I doubt that they already exist (but I really should check, shouldn't I?) Should I try to convince my ISP to provide MIDI-Perl along with the standard modules? Or, am I better off installing everything privately? FYI, I'm presently using MIDI-Perl-0.8 on a Mac with MacPerl running in Classic Mode. I don't yet have it installed for use with Mac OS X. Best Regards, Mark
