>From what Sébastien said it sounds like you're planning to have it work on
a controller-by-controller basis; I was assuming that the Milkymist would
be responding to a single MIDI channel, or perhaps a set of 16 (though use
of an entire 16-channel bank would probably be a little excessive for this
application). Sébastien's or Werner's suggestion's would be equivalent to
what I was thinking originally. Sounds like I need to look around in the
mailing list archives or MM1 documentation to get a better idea of how
incoming signals are handled...
