Well, Pd (Pure Data) is a modular softsynth, that treats midi note message simply as lists or pairs of note/velocity values. As a note-off normally is just a note with velocity 0 cou could just omit this. I attached a simple example patch for Pd that just sends a [60 100( note on message (which is a "C" with a decent velocity). If you don't want Pd to open this window you could use "pd -nogui drone-c.pd" once to make a drone directly from the shell. There are also ways to remote control Pd over network but this might be off-topic now. ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
