Jay, if you're looking for cross-platform MIDI solutions there's also PortMIDI which is being used as the primary MIDI system for Csound5.
I'm actually not looking for cross-platform MIDI any more - MidiShare does the job. What I am looking for is a way to use as very little of ALSA as I possibly need to, while also maintaining a stable MIDI/Audio subsystem.
And thanks again to Dr. Albert Graef for the msAlsaSeq bridge. That little gem makes it possible to wire any MidiShare app to the ALSA sequencer. Very cool to use Common Music to drive everything I can connect to the ALSA sequencer.
Its another example of how the MidiShare design really caters to this sort of approach. The same position once held by the mighty msRawSerial/msRawMidi drivers can be filled by .. any .. driver. msInetDriver is pretty nice .. now if only i had the time to make it talk to CoreAudio. :)
IMO Linux MIDI is tasting mighty fine these days. :)
It is pretty fine, I have to say, but then I've always thought so .. ;) -- ; Jay Vaughan
