[CM] newbie question about realtime midi

[joakim at verona.se]

Hello,

I would like to experiment with simple forms of "realtime
composition". For example, detect midi noteon events, and generate a
corresponding arpeggio in realtime.

Is CM suitable for this sort of thing? Should I use portmidi or
midishare?

Working in lisp using Slime appears suitable for my needs but I have
no experience with the plattform.
