I most definitely don't recommend ProMIDI at this time. There are too many issues with it. I've been using Rwmidi, but there's some other stuff to do there. http://ruinwesen.com/support-files/rwmidi/documentation/RWMidi.html On the upside, yes, it's great that Minim is there. But even then, I don't think Minim is likely to satisfy readers here, who will probably want to turn to Reaktor, SuperCollider and the like for sounds. So that means approaching the tutorial that way. Stay tuned, as this is for sure a high priority for me in the next couple of months. @Angstrom: I should, indeed — the reason I haven’t yet is I’m waiting to get some of the MIDI stuff sorted(!)

I've drawn a blank with it myself, I've never got it to output through midiyoke despite doing the obvious steps. I'm sure many other people would like a basic introduction to using midi/audio in Processing too. Or at least point us at any half-decent tutorials.

One major change is that libraries are now stored with sketches instead of the app, which makes a lot more sense (that's how dev projects would normally work). So no more moving, in other words, even when they do release updates. @Mike: Check out the section on the CDMotion article with highlights on changes.

I'm looking forward to not having to transfer my libraries between versions every week. Well, I’m happy to see this finally get out of beta.

I like those improvement, even if I have not much time to work with it for now. I hope to get my hand dirty fast! Nice! I like those improvement, even if I have not much time to work with it for now.
