[alsa-devel] alsa midi tutorial

hello,

Can anyone recommend a good, reasonably simple, tutorial on programming for the alsa midi system?

What I want to do is feed drum trigger signals from an arduino board (a usb development board that lets you interface electronics to the computer) to a midi sequencer.

I had a look at the following page from the alsa api reference:

http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/seq.html

but I'm finding it a bit hard to follow - I'm looking for something a bit simpler with code examples to work through that will give me a way in to alsa midi programming.

Does anyone know of anything like this?

thanks,

andy baxter.
