We might consider a more limited feature of virtual devices that are only exposed to web applications; this might still be a substantial amount of work to add, but I wanted to capture the feedback."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/WebAudio/web-midi-api/issues/comments/78076094","html_url":"https://github.com/WebAudio/web-midi-api/issues/45#issuecomment-78076094","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/WebAudio/web-midi-api/issues/45","id":78076094,"user":{"login":"cwilso","id":507001,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/507001?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/cwilso","html_url":"https://github.com/cwilso","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cwilso/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cwilso/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cwilso/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cwilso/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cwilso/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cwilso/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cwilso/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cwilso/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cwilso/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-03-10T15:19:56Z","updated_at":"2015-03-10T15:19:56Z","body":"Forgot to say: @joeberkovitz : Note the above, I'm trying to keep each of these issues separated, because the bedrock they detail is independently useful.  This issue, for example - you could utilize a Web MIDI synth that you loaded in your browser from Ableton (since it could show up as a MIDI device in OSX).  The top-of-the-heap \"virtual device\" spec is #124, and yes, it's heavily related to the the virtual device/routing issue in Web Audio; I'd expect at the very least you'd want to be able to bundle them."}}
