Many years ago I tried, using SuperCard, to create a realtime recording device, i.e. set a metronomic pulse and trap for mouseclicks in relation to that pulse. If I remember correctly the problem lay in the runtime's response to the mouseclicks, which would throw off the timing of the pulse.
Perhaps the Rev engine is fast enough to deal with both. Then again, maybe I was completely wrong in how I attempted to use the SC runtime and the same problems would apply, more or less, to Revolution.


I imagine that dedicated MIDI applications are optimized to run the two threads (do I use that word correctly here?) simultaneously. Perhaps this is an area where a set of external functions written to the OS directly would be of great benefit. In other words, the input of live MIDI data would require the receiving MIDI app to be able to recognize the parts of the MIDI data being streamed- including the timing pulse (clock).
