Well, the author of Meridian has become a daddy for the second time, so I guess we'll have to wait a little bit longer before the next update will appear

Meridian - The Next Generation

Congratz Michiel

Many MSX babies appearing lately . Is this what they call the MSX Revival? Sorry, just kidding.

indeed .. they're just 'kidding'

Say, how long does it usually take until a fresh dad gets a grip on his hobby again?

Ask Bart and Flyguille

well that sorta answers it already beef, ghehe.

Well, both Bart and Flyguille went straight from the hospital to their MSX computers, if you ask me. Which is a good thing

Now where is that topic about Meridian?! Aaaaah, here it is!

Yesterday evening, I decided to boot up Meridian again for the first time in a pretty long time....I played a bit with the event editor, tried some songs and also had a look at some previous Meridian versions....

Michiel (How you're doing by the way? ), can you answer some questions?

• In many Midi-files, different notes have different velocity. Is velocitiy the same as the VOL command!? The VOL command needs his own entry, right? I mean.....'C4 vol 90' doesn't work. Just 'vol 90' does. How do you change the velocity/volume of a single note, then? On one command line entry? It obviously is possible, but I can't get it right. Does the velocity/volume change per midi channel? I guess so?
• When selecting MIDI channels, would it be possible to actually HEAR the selected program while hitting my keyboard or a certain key on the keyboard? It would be a welcome feature for me
• In previous Meridian versions, in the event editor, it was possible to select a quick menu with a mouse double click and that way, you could easily insert events such as note off, note on, velocity, modulation etc. etc. Something DOES happen when I doubleclick in the newest version of Meridian, but nothing more than some menu which seems not to function
• I know, I've said it too many times, but while playing, it would be great to see the current program on the left and not just the start program

I really want to give it a try this time and create something in Meridian, I'm waiting your remarks. Thanks!!

Aaaaaah, come on! I've heard so many nice things about the newest Meridian version. The sound really should be awesome right now. The possibilities of programming both FM+WAVE are really sweet and all.....Now bring us a public version, pretty please

You really should kick Michiel for a new release, and since you know him better than I do...

How can i run Meridian 3.0 on the Bleu MSX Emulator?
I don't get the program running very wel.
Or are there other emulators or something where the program runs very wel?

Whith Bleu MSX i can use my PC whit the extra Memory.
Pleas help quick.
Oh yes my system is:

Windows XP SP2

By the way, the author of Meridian has become a dad for the 3d time
