I have used this  a few times. I have trouble connecting midi keyboards to
Squeak and I'm not sure what is going wrong.
So I used Boadebui (Badboy ?) with just clicking in some notes and sound
via midi out to Microsoft midi.

I think it's worth fixing the stuff in the image so it is not broken and
bitrotten.
Like for example the MidiInputMorph.

I'm not much of a musician and not really a developer, I just enjoy reading
code, fixing small bugs and
learn a little in the process.

I have looked at your music projects, game projects and L-System also :-)
It is very impressive. muO is intimidating. It is so extensive and complex
I don't know where to start.

I have played the games a bit.
I really like your L-System with the ability to zoom in on the canvas.

I agree with you here, muO is almost unbelievable. In a good way :-)
