Reading further in a previous DDJ issue, the author (who wants MIDI
applications) is a MIDI developer who uses the Windows' control panel MIDI
Mapper applet (whatever that is) and he wrote a couple (Windows') MIDI
applications like Midifitz and Jukebox. So I guess my question should be:
Do the BSDs offer enough MIDI support for a MIDI developer accustomed to
MIDI on a Windows' box?
