AsyncIO + Music
summary
Python uses AsyncIO plus uvloop and RTMidi to read MIDI, forward a hardware clock, and schedule generators; the demo builds a sequencer that forwards the Novation circuit clock to a mono analog synth, runs a drum task and an arpeggiator, and adapts tempo live. MIDI clock resolution is 24 pulses per quarter note, timing uses asyncio queues, thread-safe call_soon and futures (a metronome/countdown) and the system stays in sync and production‑usable.
