[chuck-users] MIDI devices (more)

You can also check the device name to make sure you’re opening
what you want, or iterate through midi device numbers until you find
the device you want.  Something like:

for(0 => int i; true ; i++){ 
   if (!midin.open(i)) me.exit(); 
   if (midin.name() == "Intern in") break; 
} 

I think there’s also a capability to open by Device name (as printed
out by chuck —probe).  I’ve never used it, but I think Spencer put
it in fairly recently.
