I believe there's a YAMAHA MIDI driver for win32 that communicates
through the COM port.
I don't know any specifics, but take a look at www.ucapps.de on
the COM Port extension to the MBHP, MIDIbox, MIDIBox64. That's where I heard it mentioned...

Hi,
I need to send MIDI data from a sensor-capture controller box (the MIT Handyboard), which is already connected to my PC on serial port 1.
Under Irix, that used to be very simple; I would simply tell the computer that there was a MIDI device on serial port 1 and PD would read that. No such luck with Win32.
Short of buying an external MIDI interface, is there a way to trick the PC into thinking that there is a MIDI interface on a serial port, and just read from that?
I can imagine a more common scenario where one would connect two PCs together via the serial port, and trick both machine into thinking there are MIDI interfaces between them.
I would have thought that otherwise I could use the 'serial' object, but that only seems to handle output, not input
Any advice?
Thanks!
