I was trying a harder aproach by studying the great JAVA SOUND API source code with their midi masterpiece developed by masters in sound. I was helping myself with the JAVA 1.4.2 sound-dev-guide PDF . It was a slow work as I was planning to translate some JAVA classes into perl.

As you said that you were going to study some C code, I thought that some JAVA code might also help you.

Besides, the JAVA 1.4.2 sound-dev-guide PDF is a very good introduction to how MIDIS, synthetizers, sequencers and mixers work together. And there are very little descriptions of their JAVA implementation. So, it is a very useful doc.

Thank you for this script!

(Update) I am yet building my LINUX Rack to be at least as my Windows one. I am having trouble with my midis. I'll try SDL and your nice script.

I am also interested in the other aspect of midi code: to command other machines and lights. I found something about this at http://midiox.com/.
