Re: java midi in

Hi Menno,

I actually had a slightly different design in mind where MIDI input is
done on a higher level, so that if you set to record, you choose what
object to record to, be it a PianoRoll, GenericScore, etc.  I think
this is more in line with what you see in other MIDI-based apps for
recording audio or MIDI data, where they only record to new objects as
opposed to rewriting over old ones (at least, that's what's in my
head, having not used a MIDI-based app except for seeing what's in
them every once in a while).

The recording of audio and MIDI will probably be one of the first
major tasks after blue2 goes out, and a lot of that relies on
implementing note pfield metadata on instruments.  From there,
soundObjects will be able to query information from instruments to
auto-setup themselves, which would be especially useful for pianoRoll
and tracker objects.  I am also thinking of samples a good bit and
working out a system for those.  Most likely a percussion-based
sampler instrument will be done first as it will be easier to
implement, then later a keyboard-based sampler with samples assigned
to key ranges, etc. to be done.

Also, regarding the MIDI data, it will most likely be recorded and
translated to notes, with the original MIDI data discarded.  I don't
like MIDI's coarseness of information, so want to to keep get that
into something more flexible as soon as possible.  If MIDI data would
be wanted after that, I would most likely rather put in a MIDI
translator to move back from score to MIDI, but this is an area I have
not spent much time thinking about yet.

Thanks!
steven
