Hi All,  One of the best places to learn about MIDI is Jeff Glatt's MIDI
Technical Fanatic's Brainwashing Center at http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/
The site includes:

  Tutorials for MIDI Users
  Software Programs
  MIDI Files
  Technical Docs and Programming
  MIDI Rexx -- A MIDI development language for hobbyists
  MIDI Hardware Projects
  Company Contacts

Thanks Jeff!

For a great _free_ (for non-commercial use) do-it-yourself MIDI controller
by Thorsten Klose see MIDIBox at http://www.ucapps.de/index.html
The MIDIO128 version of the MIDIBox was used by Willy van der Reijden
to add MIDI to a Frati-Hymnia Orchestrion.  See the article at
http://mmd.foxtail.com/Tech/mvdReijden.html  Thanks Thorsten!

And don't forget Piet Paardekam's great _free_ MIDI to roll template
printing program, MIDIBoek, at http://huizen.daxis.nl/~Ppaardekam/
Thanks Piet!
