[racket-dev] RtMidi library for Racket?

This looks really interesting… but I’m frightened by the fact that it’s
C++, and worse-yet object-oriented.  It looks like it might require some
serious low-level chops to integrate this with our (standard) C-style ffi.

Do you know of a cross-platform MIDI library that has a more standard /
C-like API?
