python-rtmidi integration #26

Open eli-b opened 10 years ago

It would be useful to be able to send midi events encoded as midi messages into python-rtmidi output ports, and to parse midi messages received from python-rtmidi input ports as midi events. It would be especially useful on the Windows platform, where the sequencer module isn't supported.

What do you think?

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of rtmidi because it uses userspace to time MIDI events, as opposed to the more accurate OS sequencer. I agree, however, that it would provide a nice shortcut to providing hardware support for these platforms. I've added it to the milestones.
