This question is of interest to me as well and I have come to depend on your
advice so please let me give you some more details.
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a one or two Port serial
interface that talks directly to musical synthesizers. It sends "Note on"
"Note Off" "Note Velocity"... etc type data.
The old school interface connected directly to the game port on the sound
card. Recently everyone is moving to "USB to MIDI".

Subject: [vrf] RE: vrf: MIDI interface via VEE
> Is there a way to send commands via a MIDI port on a computer?
VEE can access the Media Control Interface in a variety of ways. Whether or
not that will get you to where you want to go is another question.
Accessing a MIDI port directly is most likely possible via the inpout.dll or
peekpoke.dll or any other hardware port helper. I don't know the details of
MIDI port hardware though - such as where it is, what's attached to it &
soforth. If you've got a newer PC Intern reference around all this will
probably be in there. Mine is too old
