Your last post introduced me to virmidi, which was something I didn't know 
about before.

The useful thing I have learned from this latest post is that the mididev is 
the midi source that bristol listens to, rather than the bristol engine 
itself.

This means that I now have Bristol sort of working, but there are still some 
problems:
1.  No pitch wheel control via midi.
2.  Dropped notes while using midi.  Enough to make Bristol unusable.
3.  Hammond emulator doesn't produce sound and crashes very quickly when you 
start fiddling with it.  The other emulators seem to be alright (although 
there are a couple I haven't tried yet).

Do you get the same dropped notes problem with virmidi?  If not, then while 
you're trying my solution I think I'll try yours :)
