midi on milkdrop

OK, so those of you that know how milkdrop works know that milkdrops runs off presets or scenes. Those scenes are standard windows text files (ascii i think, with line breaks) You can also set milkdrop to jump between presets once every tenth of a second or so. It automatically jumps between every preset in the folder, unless you tell it to look other places. If you only put ONE preset in the folder, it will reaed it every tenth of a second, and I'm trying to find a way to make a midi device WRITE values to that text file (*.milk) that are triggered by the device. This SHOULD change the preset in realtime, or something close. Unless someone else can think of a better way to do this...
