Thank you Kurt and Erik for the useful insights. I won't give up trying to get my head around how to program, although I fear it will take me longer than my patience will allow. The shakabox (beat machine) idea is moving me closer to what I'd like to do. The main area that I will need to learn is how to map one midi note to another. Then to instruct the program to perform some other duties, like "take musical phrase around the intervals 1 3 #5", and "transpose circle of 5ths up by the ratio of a Comma (80:81)" . Basically I want a piece of software that allows me to compose my 'mirror' music ideas.
In 1997 a programmer did build me a basic mirroring program, called The Mirrormaker. It does the midi mapping. I am no longer in touch with the programmer and have no access to the code, and it was written for only windows anyway. If anyone is interested in hearing a few I have over a thousand midi files that I have mirrored with this software. To get the software to perform more scripts is what I would love to learn to do, but I have to start at the beginning again and find out about the mapping of notes.
Should I perhaps concentrate on the design of a program and find a programmer willing to write the code for such a design? Or perhaps someone can recommend me a cool book that is easy to understand (for dunces!)
Thanks for reading Lui

try this: http://www.shopperturnpike.com/usefulsoftware/midi_format.html
"this table shows the structure of a MIDI file of the type constructed by the "MIDI Builder" plugin for Runtime Revolution."

good choice Luigi. i have started a "listlet" on hard core MIDI issues in Rev. if anything is remotely of interest to the regular Rev list then it can come here. if it as arcane and specific as the above URL that Kurt contributed then it might be more easily handler off-list.
as soon as i get a little extra time, there will be info on my RunRev Fanzine website page.
