Doing this on an Atari ST was our "introduction to 68000 assembly" back in 92-93 (probably because the MIDI port was convenient and also it was either an ST or some variety of Sun <=3.) Was one of the better courses in my first year of CS (the competition was formal methods, Oracle-in-Pascal, Prolog, or hardware.)
I was on my way here to bring up the Atari ST and it's inbuilt MIDI ports but you beat me to it.
Unusual to have access to Oracle in a first year CS course.
To be fair, in '92, there weren't many options for teaching databases.
This is the kind of thing I've always thought, "man you could totally do this if you needed to" and you did and here take your damned upvote. Rock on doener.
Very convenient for Amiga since not a single model came with Midi port ... :)
We have the how, but now we need to discover the why?
Because some people want to watch the world burn.
Especially since you could just use the serial port
