This archive contains three AREXX macros that assist users of DMCS who have
General Midi protocol instruments. The three macros are: NumPatch.dmcs takes a
number as input and returns the name of the associated instrument patch.
PatchNum.dmcs allows you to get the patch number given the name of the
instrument. You may search for the desired instrument in a variety of ways.
DrumNum.dmcs allows you to insert a note that corresponds to a specified drum
sound. You may search for the drum name in a variety of ways. These macros
should be helpful in several situations. They are invaluable for entering
scores that are to be played on your GM instrument. You no longer need to
constantly refer to your manual to pick out patch numbers and drum note numbers.
It is also helpful when you read in a GM Standard Midi File. You can quickly
find out which instruments are used in the song. Author: Keith Barkley
