midiRecord: record an incoming MIDI stream to disk

I've had a relatively cheap Korg synthesizer sitting in my room for about a year now. Regularly I've thought about using it and its MIDI capabilities to explore various musical ideas by recording what I do to a MIDI file for later perusal or transcription. All I wanted to do was something simple: save the MIDI data that enter my iBook through my MIDI-USB cable to a MIDI file. No routing, no use of software synths, nothing like that: just save the data that I'm playing.
