  The bytes can be converted with [list tosymbol] for getting characters 
like MThd and MTrk, otherwise it's a MIDI message or an integer.

  I must admit that's not easy to do the parse with internals because 
this is a bit complicated to make it an abstraction for me, I'll also 
try out midi.lua with [mrpeach/pdlua].
