That looks keen, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get pd
to talk to my MIDI devices.
$ pd -alsa -listdev
reading startup file: /home/fugalh/.pdrc
input devices:
1. Sound Fusion CS46xx (hardware)
2. Sound Fusion CS46xx (plug-in)
3. Keystation (hardware)
4. Keystation (plug-in)
output devices:
1. Sound Fusion CS46xx (hardware)
2. Sound Fusion CS46xx (plug-in)
3. Keystation (hardware)
4. Keystation (plug-in)
API number 1
no midi input devices found
no midi output devices found
couldn't open MIDI input device 0
couldn't open MIDI output device 0
opened 0 MIDI input device(s) and 0 MIDI output device(s).
So it's seeing my keyboard as an audio device but not a midi device. Any ideas?

you hit the keys (MIDI note velocity), so what would be a fine organ
performance sounds really silly because of the different velocities.
I might suggest that you consider recording the velocity information but
then not use it. It won't hurt anythign to have it in the MIDI file.
I agree here, but you need velocity info to detect noteon and noteoff,
but your organ synth probably should not care about the actual values
and instead play all notes as the same velocity.
For filtering I always use Pd, as it's very flexible and quick to do
all kinds of filters. Attached is a little patch which replaces all
velocities > 0 with 127. This is just five objects connected, I would
never care to use or write a special program for this kind of stuff,
which is quick to hack in Pd, Python, or whatever your "scripting
language" of choice is.
