USB MIDI is not the same as rawmidi as each MIDI command must be sent as a 32-bit packet, so the driver must parse the stream somehow. (There is a USB MIDI code to send a raw MIDI byte, but there are devices not supporting this. (The USB MIDI specification and said device are, of course, from the same company.)) Well, the real reason why I wrote a sequencer driver was that I wanted to decide between a rawmidi and a sequencer driver, but there wasn't any sequencer driver supporting input, so I had to write one to find out about it. ;-) It turns out there isn't any real advantage over a rawmidi driver, so I think I'll change the driver to use rawmidi in the next few days.
