Sorry Garth, that was a typo. I meant 1.7.0-beta1. I felt sure it was 
working. Guess I must have compiled 1.7.0-beta1 bu still been running 
the 1.6.1+Herc binary (thinking it was 1.7.0-beta1).

Ok, that kind of makes sense. Guess it will make more so as I start playing.

And the fact that I'm not getting any MIDI data at all into 1.6.1+Herc 
(when it was fine before) is just worth forgetting about in favour of 
concentrating on 1.7.x?

Cool. I'm less likely to be in IRC on weekends, more likely weekdays 
10.00-18.00 GMT+1 (UK).
