MIDI command for playing internal MIDI sounds

[GoogleCodeExporter]

An simple MIDI command would be a nice feature regarding the fact that every 
modern phone has something built in like a MIDI synthesizer.

A command with some parameters like:

- Channel (1-16 except 10 which is reserved to the drumset)
- Patch number
- Note number
- Velocity
- The length could be set by a parameter in milliseconds OR by splitting the 
command in two halves, one issueing the note ON command and the second half the 
note OFF command.

Though MIDI files are not that big it could save some memory (Phone internal 
and RAM) and having to open a MIDI capable sequencer and rendering a new MIDI 
file for the Player or Sound component EVERY time you just want to make a 
subtle change in the volume or sound can easily get very annoying.

It would make AI more attractive and flexible for programming sound apps.

Next thing is the extremely unstable timer...

This is an important feature for many sound-music applications

I'd love a midi api for app inventor. I experienced too some problem with clock 
triggered events trying to build a metronome. It seems that time is not steady
