Yeah, I've done this before. You can write the control signal to disk
using foutk and then later, when you need to you can recall them using
fink. Using this simple approach I've been able to record complete
MIDI performances, and recall them any time I wish. I remember Matt
Ingalls showing me a rather simple but powerful instrument that he
used that did this. Let me know if you need any code, although I don't
expect you will have any difficulty in implementing it.

example 03D06_Record_ksig_to_table.csd in 
http://en.flossmanuals.net/csound/d-function-tables/ can be modified 
easily to record MIDI.

in csoundqt, there is a MIDI Recorder in Examples>Useful.
