hi nick, i have run over ide 1.0
according this web: NewSoftSerial | Arduiniana
"if you have 1.0 or later, you should not download this library. To port your code to 1.0, simply change all NewSoftSerial references to SoftwareSerial."
this is the code with the changes:
// MIDI_decoder
//
// Author: Nick Gammon
// Date: 8th April 2012.
// Version: 1.0
// Released into the public domain.
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <Streaming.h>
// Plug MIDI into pin D2 (MIDI in serial)
NewSoftSerial midi (2, 3); // Rx, Tx
this is the error:
'NewSoftSerial' does not name a type
