OSC, baby.
Who gives a s*** about MIDI these days? Are we stuck in some old
dystopian future-past version of Blade Runner where all colors are a
runny sepia, Harrison Ford is eternally young, and electronic cabling
connects via metal fronds approching horse-tranquilizer-size that snap
like the Fonz when engaged ??
If you really want MIDI, just use OSC->Pd->MIDI. Then get out your
dinosaur-bone club and start hunting for wooly mammoths for dinner.
Jesus Christ.
Love,
Evan
PS: Just winding you up, mate ;)
