Me too.  I've written an aleatoric sequencer and several patch editors that use MIDI
protocol, but connect to my synths over a standard COM port.  While this works for the
synths I design, it won't work for MIDI only synths.  (my synths will receive on either
their MIDI inputs or TTY inputs).  I would love to know how to use VB.NET (I can read C#,
so that is helpful too) to open and send to a MIDI port.
