Connection to "hot"

• Drag-and-drop simplicity – Drop a .mid file, get a .lua table of notes, velocities, and timestamps.
• Zero-latency playback – Optimized output for frameworks like LÖVE, LÖVR, or PICO-8.
• Tempo-aware translation – Converts ticks to seconds or frames, keeping your beatmap tight.
• Event filtering – Extract only the channels you want (melody, drums, bass) into separate Lua arrays.
• Hot reload support – Pipe the output into a live scripting environment and hear changes instantly.

• Prefer callback/interrupt-based MIDI APIs over polling loops.
• In Lua handlers:
