I have been working quit some time on a twenty-year-old Pascal program, translating it into java. The program manipulates a small Yamaha synthesizer called FBO-1. Al the program does is sending timed midi code numbers to the synthesizer and there is where the problem lays. The midi code transition is based on large timed-loops (a swing clock of 7 mili sec is set). The problem I am experiencing is that the timing of each soundtrack is very different on PC compared to MAC (interesting to know is that my 8-year-sold-slow G4 mac synchronizes perfect with my new macbook, so it is definitely not a CPU speed problem). Curiously my MAC is much faster compared to the PC. Is there anybody who can shine some light on my JAVA-darkness, because for the moment the thing simply does not go on PC and I do not know what to do!
(I include the first sound track code as an example, the other tracks work on the same principle)
