yes, i see that the docs were not updated. im sorry, this somehow
fell through the cracks. the newer api was developed after working
with the older functions for a while --they are easier to actually
work with interactivly: for example you dont need to clear a hook
before you set another one, initiating receiving is separate from
setting the hook, and the function names are easier/faster to type.
for portmidi the methods are:
recv (<portmidi> &key (priority 20) (resolution 5) )
start receive thread for portmidi with priority. resolution is
thread's millisecond tick time.
recv-stop (<portmidi>)
stop portmidi's receive thread.
recv? ()
returns :running if receive thread is running else returns :stopped
recv-set!(<portmidi> function)
makes function the receiver for portmidi. function accepts one arg
and is passed the midi event read from the port. the midi event is
formatted fixnum midi message decumented in http://
commonmusic.sourceforge.net/doc/dict/midi-topic.html#midi_low_level
