Hi - I think that Chuck's Midi methods seem not to be working (except for very 
simple examples), as Chuck is dropping Midi events - I'm using the pre-compiled 
version of Chuck 1.3.0 (gidora), on a Mac Mini (2.7GHz I7), with OSX 10.7.5 
(Lion).

The only type of ON/OFF sequence in which Chuck seems not to "swallow" any 
notes is of the form Note1 ON, Note1 OFF, Note2 ON, Note2 OFF…  Instead, I'm 
generating Midi streams in which there are new note On events before the prior 
note goes off. They happen when I play legato with a Yamaha WX5 wind 
controller, but any Midi keyboard would also generate such sequences if one 
presses a new key before releasing another one that is already sounding.

I captured the following short sequence with the "MIDI Monitor" app 
(http://www.snoize.com/MIDIMonitor/). Also it sounds fine with different sound 
generators):

20:34:33.026    From In Note On 1       E2      22
20:34:33.030    From In Control 1       Breath Control (coarse) 20
20:34:33.036    From In Control 1       Breath Control (coarse) 25
20:34:33.041    From In Control 1       Breath Control (coarse) 27
20:34:33.071    From In Control 1       Breath Control (coarse) 29
20:34:33.182    From In Control 1       Breath Control (coarse) 30
20:34:33.207    From In Note On 1       F2      30
20:34:33.208    From In Note Off        1       E2      0
20:34:33.534    From In Note On 1       G2      30
20:34:33.535    From In Note Off        1       F2      0
20:34:33.664    From In Control 1       Breath Control (coarse) 32
20:34:33.845    From In Note On 1       A2      32
20:34:33.846    From In Note Off        1       G2      0

Capturing the same with Chuck only shows the 1st Note ON (and all the CCs, 
which are correct), but the rest of the Note ONs/OFFs vanish (BTW, playing very 
slowly makes no difference). To make sure it was not some bug in my code, I 
captured the Midi using just Chuck's example in miniAudicle->File->Open 
Example->MIDI->gomidi (the numeric output is converted below, just for 
readability): 

Note On E2      22
CC      BC (msb)        20
CC      BC (msb)        25
CC      BC (msb)        27
CC      BC (msb)        29
CC      BC (msb)        30
CC      BC (msb)        32

Only by fully ending each note before playing the succeeding one, all the Note 
ONs/OFFs show up. But that's not useable...

Any help on incantations for Chuck, workarounds, or a fix would be great! 
(particularly since after learning to ChucK from Rob Poor's Oxygen8, the rest 
of my ChucK code seems to be working nicely :-)

Thanks!
Daniel
