Mac ION iED05 software

I have just finished writing some very basic software to enable me to use the ION iED05 USB drum kit with Garageband (or any other MIDI capable software on an OSX 10.5+ Mac). Essentially, the program acts as a MIDI source and just maps Human Interface Device (HID) Input data to Midi "Note On" messages. The MIDI Manufacturers Association's Tech Specs page is a useful source of information if you're interested in the technical details of MIDI.

Over at Apple Developer Connection you can find details of OS X's Audio Support on the Audio page with a quick overview of the API's within this Audio Overview PDF.

I'll not be hosting the software anywhere just yet, as it's in a rather "alpha" state, but if anyone's interested in getting a copy, just leave a comment as it might enthuse me and get round to producing something a bit more user friendly.
