I just wrote a little BASIC programme to read the /mi port. It sorta worked:

open #path,"/mi",READ
while (1) do
get #path,input
print using "H2",input
endwhile

This produced "FEFEFEFEFE......." while the synth was idle, and "C001" for a
program change; "C002", "C003" etc
And "904C5F4C00" if I pressed a note. This on a Kawai FS680.
However, after a short time, it seemed to lock up. No more input.
