Hey Dave, Although RTMix has not been updated for a while, you can do this in 3 lines of script and do so not only for MIDI->MIDI, but also for any combinations of MIDI, OSC, generic network protocol and computer keyboard events. You can also involve any type of MIDI/OSC/network-capable controller, keyboard keys, and/or 6 different types of random number generation to alter parameters of a particular data conversion. Actually, come to think of it, you might be able to do some of what you are trying to do in 1 line...* *Obligatory handicap: the only real nuisance with RTMix is that it's still using the old /dev/midi junk, but you can alleviate that easily with the virmidi module. If interested, see tutorials for more info, and if that fails, please do not hesitate to bug me ;-) Ico
