I think the point is that probably to be very useful, a MIDI-based program 
should have ready access to an external MIDI device (keyboard, sequencer, 
etc.).  It should be able to open up multiple channels so that one could record 
a new MIDI track whilst hearing previously-recorded MIDI tracks.  I don't know 
whether the above is possible, given the (limited?) range of QT functions 
available to the Rev-based player object.
Again, I'm not saying it isn't possible using Rev 4, but I haven't discovered 
how.

I think that as far as inter-application or inter-device MIDI communication is 
concerned, we are still where we were back in 2004:

and I believe we can access only a few of the settings of Core-MIDI through 
Applescript  (and that would be Mac-only, in any case).

So, have fun with MIDI-builder, and I'd be very interested in working with 
someone who might have ideas for extending the scope of the project as long as 
it's cross-platform based.

PS/You might also be interested in some MIDI Rev stacks written by a 
Japanese(?) person, whose name I unfortunately cannot remember at the moment.  
Perhaps someone else can remember?
