[making a fake midi_server] >I just don't want you guys to think that you *have* to >[replicate the protocol that the Be server used] You are right, we don't have to, and I certainly don't plan to. But so far it seems to me that no one really understands the midi_server: what, why, when, and how does it do the things it does? So looking at the messages the midi_server sends and receives may give us some idea. If anyone here *does* know, or at least has some clues, then please enlighten us ;-) Matthijs
