Re: [PATCH] Prevent loss of state between MIDI subscriptions

[Thomas Karpiniec]

Apologies for the linewrap. This will be better:

A MIDI input parser is unnecessarily reset whenever a new subscription 
is created.

This is a particular problem with the Novation Launchpad, which sends a 
single NOTEON command, then a series of notes indefinitely unless a 
control button is pressed or it is power cycled. If a user application 
restarts and resubscribes, the parser no longer knows that it is 
receiving NOTEONs and fails to pass on new input.
