Alternatively, just run "test m" manually, and then invoke the midi player on your system using "play", defined below for NT: 
> {-
> play = do
>          system "mplay32 test.mid"
>          return ()
> -}
A more general function in the tradition of testMidi, makeMidi also takes a Context and a UserPatchMap. 
> makeMidi :: (Music, Context, UserPatchMap) -> MidiFile
> makeMidi (m,c,upm) = performToMidi (perform defPMap c m) upm
