So... speaking of programming and such. Here's a pointer to "Keykit" for
those who don't know about it. It's an interpreted GUI & Object-oriented
language for music composition & performance with MIDI. I have used it on
occasion for a few things. It's free (you just have to register).

Recently, the author posted an excerpt of code as an example of real-time
note filtering. That means, it could be set up for doing real-time
pitch-bending, etc. This would be a nice way to do on-the-fly retuning,
without having to parse all the MIDI messages, etc, oneself. The Keykit
language takes care of all the low-level grunge, and is multi-threaded &
real-time controllable.
