Martin & Bengt,
   This looks interesting, but like Adrian I think I need a HOWTO to
grasp it a bit better.

   Also, I googled for "Win XP" MIDI OSC. Unfortunately Osc is such a
common term that I'm not finding usefull stuff yet. I did find this
page:

http://www.cnmat.berkeley.edu/OpenSoundControl/

but it seems that what I was looking for isn't obvious. (To me...)

   I am finding some commercial products similar to what I'm looking for:

   Some shareware discussed on Northern Sound:

   Many years ago I purchased this one for Windows only, at the time,
but it talks to Macs now:

   I'd love to see a Linux solution that talked to this software on
Mac's and PC's. That would be very cool.

   Anyway, I'm still looking for Nirvana.

Cheers,
Mark
