"Free" is a relative term.

There are MIDI XCMDs and XFCNs in Developer's Stack 1.2r.  These
have no fee attached.

HyperMIDI 1.0 is shareware.  Like other shareware, you can obtain
it for whatever it costs you to download it from a BBS or ftp it
from ucsd.edu, but if you want to use it or distribute stacks written
using it, the shareware fee is $30.

HyperMIDI 2.0 is also going to be shareware, but the projected fee
is something like $195, with a discount for users registered for 1.0.
(Yes, it's a lot of money, but Nigel's goal is that you will be
able to write some pretty amazing stuff, such as sequencers and
algorithmic composition tools, with it.)
