My feelings on this interface are rather uniform: sending to all those #* symbols is ugly and tedious.

I think the use case is valid, but I think we rather need a dedicated Pd message or object which directly puts messages on the MIDI queue, so they are automatically forwarded to the relevant MIDI objects. This means that users could simply take the output of [midiout] and feed it directly into the new object/message.

On the other hand, are there any other uses cases except forwarding MIDI to pd~? If no, then we could simply add a message to pd~ itself, e.g. [pd~ midi <port> <bytes...>(, which would make this particular use case very straightforward.
