[PlanetCCRMA] Re: How to build MIDI intercept code?

[Charles Fox]

Thanks for the replies.  I'd like to get a look at how the ALSA API works 
so I think this time I'll start by hacking up qmidiarp or something.  I 
will bear Pd and PortMidi in mind for when I want to do something bigger 
next time.

(Nice to see you here btw, Prof Dannenberg, I spent a lot of time reading 
your DTW papers last year)
