Aug 11th, 2008, 1:32pm   While trying to use proMIDI and controlP5 in my sketch i get the following error: Type "Controller" is imported on demand from package "promidi" and package "controlP5". I tried using: myMidiController = new promidi.Controller(c, v); but i still get the error. who knows ho to work around?

For the next release of promidi I changed the class names to avoid such conflicts.
