Yes. And in which app/frame-work do I program that?
Note that I am very capable of writing the code myself, it just surprises me
that many "flexible" midi-routers exist but none can fulfill these simple(?)
task. Or in the case of pd can't fulfill it reliably.
I didn't think this task would require me to write my own midi-router. (Which
I would probably name "yet another flexible midi router that is actually
flexible" or yafmrtiaf.)
Have fun,
Arnold
