Yes, after seeing you say macro here it all makes sense now. To explain
what happened to completely confuse me is this: Upon extracting all the
files I proceeded to move them to respective places, library paths, to be
used later for a render. I noticed the mac file was being associated with
something, the Apple program tried to open it and so from then on I
figured it must be an image. I converted it to gif thinking I might need
it like that for the render. When I tried to look at this mac file all I
was seeing was the strange "coded" image. Now I've seen it is a macro in
Notepad as you say. I really had thought you had devised of a way to have
a midi file converted to a picture and then used to play the synthesizer
keys for a while there. Going to send the resulting gif file over to you
so you know what I was seeing.
Been a fun experience all right.
