yes the system is complaining that you have not set a :time value in 
the event. try:

(events (new :midi :time 0 ) "hi.mid")

It seemed silly to me to default time to zero if you don't specify it. 
My feeling was that if a composer doesn't know what time their sounds 
start at then they have no business making noise!

looks like the same issue to me. just remember that every object needs 
a time value if its going to be placed in a score and if you are the 
composer the you have come up with it somehow. its a dirty job but 
someone has to do it. pick them at random it you want to!:

(events (loop for x in (ransegs 15 :type :high-pass :max 12)
                       collect (new midi :time x :keynum (between 60 
90)))
              "hi.mid")

yes. you should install CMN and then load it into CM once you start up. 
you can put the loading statement in an init file if you dont want to 
to type it.
