[sdiy] MIDI parser

[Tony Kalomiris]

I'm with Roman here.
Just call me a nut, or a masochist.

I wrote one way back in the late 1990's that was heavily based on Roland
firmware disassemblies i.e. JP-6, TR-909 , the latter NEC .. fun fun fun
(NOT).
That I modified thereafter for each specific application , MIDI monitor,
filter, drum trigger.
But these were not complete MIDI parsers by any means, only Note On/ Off,
Program Change, Mode Messages and System Real Time, and of course that
tricky Running Status.

One thing I enjoyed learning was that clever way Roland calculated notes
outside the range of the polysynth to fall within the playable range.

My .02 Canadian cents .
