Truthfully, I'd like to get rid of libmidi2 altogether and replace it wit=
h
something better (libmidi3!). The idea of having multiple MIDI nodes that
can send and/or receive data is great, but the rest of the kit has many
problems. Some you have already ran into, others you will soon :-)

I put some design notes on my website once, but took that down when I mov=
ed
to another ISP. That stuff will also find a new home on the new OpenBeOS
website some day.

However, I am not a big MIDI expert and, to be honest, have no interest i=
n
developing a new Midi Kit. So if you feel like making your own super API,
here's your chance :-) There is no reason why one couldn't write a new Mi=
di
Kit as a replacement for the current one, because the kit is completely
isolated from the rest of the operating system.

Food for thought :-)
