Rui -- I Iove qmidinet and qmidictl!! (

 )

Three feature requests, in order of seriousness and feasability:

(1) For us cheapskates, a way to run qmidictl on an O2 Joggler (worlds
cheapest control surface??)

(2) A way to allow for scripting betweeen qmidictl and qmidinet (or other
controllers plugging into qmidinet):

Also, one issue I've found w/ controllers in general is that there is a need

( fyi -- i'm looking into mididings because it allows scripting see

(3) qmidimindctl :-)

PS: qxgedit has compelled me to spend $20 on a Yam SW-60XG (
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200458972918 ) and $5.00
on the only Linux-compatible PCI card that still has a waveterminal header:
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Ice1724#Dynex_DX-SC51 -- I'll let you
know how they work. (I'll probably need to add the additional controls for
the SW-60XG's analog input: http://www.studio4all.de/htmle/main96.html
http://electro-music.com/forum/topic-21634-175.html ). My complete notes:
