Meantime, I would like to share my MulchFx project with you, since we are both taking a different approach, I thought you might appreciate my approach... it's not as complete as yours but midiInput handling is very different / worth a look... unfortunetly I can't upload the solution .zip to my blog... and i don't have your email address either.... Give me a shout if/when youre ready and/or i have somewhere to send my solution...
