Yes, a lot of research has obviously been put into this library ; the fact that it has plenty of language bindings (java, lisp, python) is attractive also. Plus, the JMusic project provides classes for manipulating musical data, and an interface to Midishare...
MidiShare is quite mature.
I will make some tries at it on a CCRMA box, I think.
Thats great - I'd really like to hear how you get along with it ..
On a more general keynote, is it not paradoxical that when a piece of software becomes mature enough, it tends to fade out of the general attention ?
Sure. The "Not Invented Here" syndrome plays a big part in that, I think .. people don't want to admit that, a lot of times, software doesn't actually need a re-write. ;)
That said, I'm almost ready to release MidiShare for the GP2X hand-held gaming console, which will be a very nice platform indeed to hack MIDI applications on .. I'm sure it won't be long until the two platforms make a fair bit of noise.
