very nice! I think the combination of midi events and audio input would be
interesting to combine. I haven't played with your midi extension yet - is
it possible to send midi too?

it's a normal kind of bug... :) the camera facing code does a cross
product with the centre of the screen and the up vector which for some
reason I forget causes this. the fix is to do the cross product once per
particle, which would be slower, but it would be good to have the option I
suppose as it can be annoying.

in other news - I've got the occlusion map baking working, although I've
yet to turn the quality settings up much (it's really slow to compute):
