[sdiy] Midi2cv Project Update

[Scott Gravenhorst]

Yes...  I've written several programs which deal
with the MIDI data stream.  All I can say is that 
to learn the complete MIDI spec. before writing code
will make this task a whole lot easier.  For my 
first program, I made the mistake of writing code
and then got surprises, forcing me to finally read
the spec. and do rewrite work.
