[CM] Synthesizing Midi

[Rick Taube]

all you need to do is import your two files using import-events and 
then define a little funcion that maps over the events and combines 
them. here is a candidate mapping function that returns a combined list 
of pitches and rhythms, where "rhythm" means the time delta between 
midi notes in your rhythm file:

(define (zipper noteseq rhyseq)
   (loop with time = 0
         for e1 in (subobjects noteseq)
         for e2 in (subobjects rhyseq)
         collect (list (midi-keynum e1) (- (object-time e2) time)))
         do (set! time (object-time e2))))
