The question: Would it make sense to see [midi] as an upgrade to [seq] or is it more an alternative with different features and behaviour? I wonder for example how to get the text information that I can get with [seq] with [midi]?

The suggestion (regarding [seq]): It would be nice, if one can load the text data from [seq] directly into a [text] object without saving the midi file as a .txt file before...

@porres?

Just found out that I can write with [midi] in the same format as with [seq] to a .txt file and load that into [text].
Anyway, directly loading from [midi] into a [text] object would be a nice feature.
