If you mean as far as setting up "patches" and allowing program changes I
totally agree.  Also because of faster processors and Gabriels Realtime
CSound etc. hooking into the whole midi thing would be the way to go.  As
it is now, all the orcs are set up differently and translating to midi is a
chore at least for me.  This way we could excange sounds or patches much
easier.  If we could agree, those who are interested, on setting up some
kind of standard midi values, note, velocity, controllers etc.,  for each
orc that would be a great thing, extended CSound??  Michael Gogins Silence
is interesting in
that F tables are loaded independently so that one could use midi instead
of a score.  Far more musical as far as production in my opinion.  Perhaps
then we could compose music instead of putting together 10 minutes of
trippy sound effects?  Perhaps I'm ignorant?
