As I said to the guys who wrote Cabel, only they didn't do it:

PLEASE DO NOT USE THE MIDI OPCODES (except for the MIDI controllers).
USE THE MIDI-INTEROP COMMAND LINE FLAGS INSTEAD.

Then your orchestra will work BOTH FOR MIDI-CONTROLLED LIVE PERFORMANCE
AND ALSO WITHOUT CHANGE FOR SCORE-DRIVEN NON-REAL-TIME PERFORMANCE.

In other words, MIDI events will come in as regular pfields if you use those flags, and you can write ordinary score-drive-type instrument definitions that can work also for live performance.

If you do this, then I can use your patcher myself, and it can be built into things like blue, and everyone will love you.

If you use the MIDI input opcodes instead, I will not be able to use your work, and it will have limited use in blue or anything else.

ALSO, your work will be much more useful if it is a component that can be used in other applications, and not a stand-alone application itself. The way to do this is write the thing as a panel, and then write a shell application to host the panel to make your patcher into a stand-alone application.

Good luck!

Best,
Mike
