midivent README
---------------

midivent is a MIDI library for Node.js.  It is based on portmidi
(http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/portmedia/wiki/portmidi), so in
theory it should work with Linux, MacOS X and Windows.  The main
development platform is MacOS X.  It compiles on Ubuntu too.

midivent is currently in alpha state.

Please check out the documentation:  http://vaxbusters.org/midivent/
