Having recently obtained an outboard midi controller for music production, I was reminded of a thread quite some time ago concerning work with Python scripting and the driving of character morphs. I think that it was all hypothetical, but would be fascinated to hear if anyone has advanced this at all since then. Theres an awful lot of possibilities if its feasible to access the midi port from the PPP. Anyone ??

I just got back from SIGGRAPH where Maxon was showcasing an add-on to Cinema 4d that allows controlling any aspect of a character via MIDI, very cool. They had a MIDI multi-channel mixer controlling camera and character movements. I guarantee it's just a matter of time before the other packages catch up. I'm sure it's possible in Python, but I'm no programmer.
