I tried various solution for MIDI. Bad results with

too much jitter). Bad results with KeyKit. Finally, I found a much
better (no network) MIDI solution: I install a MIDI/serial driver in
Windows, I configure a serial/named pipe in VMWare, and I wrote a small
named-pipe-to-alsa bridge; this solution works, good timing, low jitter.
The only drawback is that I get only one MIDI port (the Roland
MIDI/serial driver I use doesn't support multiple ports), but I guess I
may find another driver that supports multiple ports.
Do you have your Midi code online somewhere that I can use? I have
the VMWare demo installed and have it setup with Cakewalk.
Unfortunately, without MIDI, it's worthless. But I'd love to try
your setup - sounds smart!
Let me know!
