[CM] RE: [keykit] Synthesizing Midi

[Tony]

Thanks Tim, this works great. 

Now I'm trying to find a way that allows me also to use chords in
melody.mid.

Another variation would be to use the velocities from melody.mid and not
from rhythm.mid.

Best greetings,
t

In keykit, this would be:

	p1 = readmf("rhythm.mid")
	p2 = readmf("melody.mid")
	p3 = applynear(p1,p2,PITCH)
	writemf(p3,"combi.mid")

The source for the applynear function is in lib/basic1.k,
if you want to see how it works.  It takes each note in p1,
and applies the pitch of the nearest (in terms of time) 
note from p2.
