[CM] Re: metalevel problem

[Rick Taube]

Hi, the examples in the book are several years old now -- Im suprised 
that this is the only problem youve run into so far! Here is how to 
reset pitch bend values in  cm 2.7.0:

(define (clearbends)
   (process for i below 16
            output (new midi-pitch-bend :time (now)
                        :channel i :bend 0)))


In 2.7.0 ther3 are class objects for all midi message types in addtion 
to the "low level" messages that are created using function like 
make-pitch-bend.
Documentation for both levels can be found at:

	http://commonmusic.sf.net/doc/dict/midi-topic.html

For more info on tunings and modes you might also look in the tutorial:

and also in drew krauses code archive:
