Hi Robin,

 Great work on your MIDI looper probject. I just noticed this  
posting, so sorry if I am coming in late to the conversation. In any  
case, I just wanted to extend an offer of help. I've worked with MIDI  
a fair amount, as well as music software development, and embedded  
development. I'll gladly try and answer any questions you might have.
