[chuck-users] Listener

[Michael Heuer]

For example,

SwingSliderMidi.java, requires rwmidi.jar
https://gist.github.com/heuermh/8872723

SwingSliderOsc.java, requires oscP5.jar
https://gist.github.com/heuermh/8872771

Rich, might you be able test whether these provide reasonable accessibility?

Thanks,

   michael
