Detailed Description

STK realtime MIDI class.

At the moment, this object only handles MIDI input, though MIDI output code can go here when someone decides they need it (and writes it).

This object opens a MIDI input device and parses MIDI messages into a MIDI buffer. Time stamp info is converted to a delta-time value. MIDI data is stored as MY_FLOAT to conform with SKINI. System exclusive messages are currently ignored.

An optional argument to the constructor can be used to specify a device or card. When no argument is given, a default device is opened. If a device argument fails, a list of available devices is printed to allow selection by the user.

This code is based in part on work of Perry Cook (SGI), Paul Leonard (Linux), the RoseGarden team (Linux), and Bill Putnam (Windows).
