Hi Mark,

I too am interested in MIDI, as I have an old Casio Midi keyboard that I use 
occasionally. It would be really cool to see how MIDIs work and write an 
editor. For the past couple of years I've been playing around with the idea but 
never found the time.

In older versions of Rev, there used to be a sample MIDI program. I think it 
lives at http://support.runrev.com/resources/unsupported.php This might be the 
first step in looking at the hex behind midis. 

Most good midi editors have a "score view." (Of course they also cost $$$ and 
so I don't have them.) From playing the piano, I know how musical notation 
works and with a little effort could put something like that together (I.e. a 
program turning a list of notes into musical notation). 

Maybe you could use Rev's read from port commands to get data from the MIDI 
port? These days, most MIDI devices use USB, and so I guess they are out of 
reach at least for now. If you learn something cool, please tell me at [EMAIL 
PROTECTED]

-Ben
