[sdiy] MIDI merging info requested

[David Brown]

Is there a simple algorithm for merging two midi messages?  I want to be 
able to pass my keyboard MIDI data through my Bass Pedals to my controller.

It seems like with running status, sys events, and such, that you really 
need to decode both MIDI streams to be able to merge complete messages.

Is there a simple way to do this?  Perhaps it is just decoding the commands 
and deciding how many bytes to pass before looking at the other MIDI 
stream.  Seems like if the other stream doesn't have a complete command 
then you would hang.  Perhaps this is never a problem.

Would appreciate help and insight before I start writing code.
