ABOUT STDIO MUSICIAN
This is the first release of Stdio Musician, a batch of GPL code
from IKM Interactive.  You'll need 4Front Tech's Open Sound System
installed.  We use the licensed version, but OSS Free should work
as well.  Check
     http://www.4Front-Tech.com/
for more information.

You'll also need to have Tcl/Tk installed on your system.  Check
     http://sunscript.sun.com
for more info.

================================================================
INSTALLATION AND RUNNING:
First do a make, and then run the programs as
  % midi_tk | stdiosynth

If your system doesn't have /dev/sequencer, you might need to use
  % midi_tk | stdiosynth /dev/midi 0
or
  % midi_tk | stdiosynth /dev/some-other-device device#

You'll get a window with some sliders to adjust volume, octave,
and instrument number.  Use the keyboard (home row, asdfghjkl;)
to play your soundcard.  You can use the shift key, but you may
wind up getting stuck notes.

Obviously, this is far from being finished, but I think it's enough
that folks could have some fun with it.  And of course, you're more
than welcome to hack the source code into something wonderful and
strange.  Just let me know if you do something cool, and enjoy!
