I found a "solution" which might interest others, so here is an
example. As my intent is to allow dynamic values with labels for the
sliders, the "Button" approach is the next best thing :>)
Dynamic[a]; Dynamic[b]; a = 64; b = 64;
Print[
Column[
{
Row[
{VerticalSlider[Dynamic[a], {0, 127, 1}],
, " ", VerticalSlider[Dynamic[b], {0, 127, 1}]}
],
Row[{Dynamic[Button[a]], " ", Dynamic[Button[b]]}]
}
]
]
Thanks for all the feedback.
P.S. Ideally I'd like to use Mathematica perhaps with the Orchestra-95 text
based music language (for programming "ease") to allow both MIDI
[SoundNote[] based] AND additive synthesis [Play[] based] playback of
music playable polyphonically with the Sound[] function whether for
algorithmic music or not!.
But it would be very helpful if Mathematica could IMPORT MIDI files and just
export them (unless Version 7 can now -- v6 doesn't).
