[CM] rts midi question

[Rick Taube]

i think you shnould specify different streams using a common ".pm"  
extension:

open "one.pm", output: 2, input: 3
open "two.pm", output: 3
...

and then handle the io explicitly

define process foo (n, s1, s2)
   run repeat n
     for e = make(<midi>, time: now(), ...)
     output e, to: s1
     output e, to: s2
   end


this shuuld work but has not been tested!
