Hi,

Thanks to everyone who helped me get real-time midi going with alsa. 

My next question has to do with interfacing midi with csound
instruments. Looking at the definition for the midinoteon opcode in the
csound manual, it looks pretty simple; however, when I tried the
following simple example, all I got was a terrible noise:
ORC:
instr 1
    mididefault 20, p3
    midinoteoncps p5, p4

    kamp linenr 8000, p3/3, p3, p3/3
    asig oscil kamp+1000, p5, 1
    out asig
endin
SCO:
f1 0 4096 10 1
i1 0 10

And I am playing it with a command line such as
$ csound -f majorscale.mid midiexp.orc midiexp.sco

Question: How does one obtain the length of a note when using midi?

I'd be really grateful if anyone could provide or point me to a simple,
working example of a midi-driven instrument. Ultimately, I would like to
be able to design instruments with csound, but write songs using a
simple text-to-midi language (midge), possibly mixing and matching it
with some csound-style scoring for effects and the like.

Thanks,
S.M.
