Re: [Csnd-dev] [EXTERNAL] [Csnd-dev] midi 2.0

My first thought is to provide a module interface, in a similar way to what we do for MIDI 1.0. Then we can implement experimental plugin modules for CoreMIDI and perhaps Windows when it comes out. If/when portmidi implements it, we can then do a portmidi module. This will also include any internal changes we may need to accommodate it (maybe not too many).
If we have MIDI 2.0 ready system, it will probably be a win.

At the moment, I think the cleanest way to do this is to keep it separate from MIDI 1.0, so we might have a different option to enable it, something like --midi2=dev. 
Users can choose this instead of -Mx. 

I’ll add a ticket and then we can discuss it there.
