Hi Dave, > Perhaps an MEP4 manual, its MIDI implementation chart, and your > MidiKinesis code would be enough to get someone started ? A nice FLTK > GUI would be sweet too. Yup, given the specs of the MEP4, this sort of tool should be entirely straightforward to build. My hunch is that the GUI would take a lot more time than the actual MIDI code. I suppose it's time to document the ALSA Python bindings a little more fully. The API is supposed to be mostly explanatory, but some odds and ends may require explanations. I haven't done this so far because I wasn't sure how much interest there is, but this thread is giving me the impression that this may be worthwhile. Peter
