What I would like to do in a first place is
"simply" control MIDI applications
that run on my notebook via these MIDI messages. Or, if you will say it like
that: I need a MIDI link from my MIDI organ to the applications running on my
notebook. The commands are sent after triggering/switching/moving the turning
knobs/pushbuttons/drawbars.
at LAC 2006 (? it could have been 2005 or even 2004) there was a
presentation of an app that converted MIDI into X Events, allowing
MIDI to be used to control any X Window application even if it did not
use MIDI itself. i don't know if this app is still available, or how
well it worked, though the demonstration certainly did. You could make
MIDI trigger arbitrary buttons on the screen, move knobs, faders etc.
i'm not much of an advocate of this kind of approach, but its worth
being aware of.
