If it was more than three weeks ago, then you've seen the original version, which was indeed focused on MidiKinesis. I have since studied most of the ALSA sequencer API, and I have added support for everything I can see myself using, most importantly support for scheduling events via ALSA queues, as well as a fair number of convenience methods for quickly generating and evaluating common events. I'm actually hard at work on a new project that's quite different from MidiKinesis and extensively uses the new features. > any chance you could break off the alsa midi part and make it a separate > package? This is something that's been in the back of my mind, and now that you're asking, I'll go ahead and do it. For the time being, however, you can just download the entire package and ignore everything except pyseq.py and midiplayer.py. Peter
