it depends on what you mean by real-time. If you mean to be able to 
open a direct connection to midishare from CM and send it MIDI messages 
from the REPL, then yes you can do this no problem.  If you mean you 
want to compose musical algorithms and then run them in real-time, then 
NO, because CLisp doesnt support threads. But working with Midishare 
interactively in the REPL should work:


? (use-system :midishare)
; loading system definition from /Lisp/midishare/midishare.asd into 
#<Package "ASDF4152">
#<SYSTEM "midishare" #x856EB96>

? (defparameter mp (midishare-open))
