Mmm, hadn't considered such an approach - I think I'd end up very confused.

Yes, getting a MIDI device to account for itself would be nice... One of the other things I'll end up doing with TiMidity++ is writing up what it's currently capable of (I can't find a nice, straightforward list of its MIDI capabilities anywhere). > > > I did an archive search on "timidity" and found nothing -- is > > software sequencing off topic or is there somewhere else I should > > go to discuss changes to TiMidity++? > > I would assume the timidity list is the right place for timidity > specific discussion.
