MIDI drops show in about 1-2 s

- NA Tracks and the ProPresenter Mac: one long-lived ssh each streams the
  MIDI sessions (checked twice a second, sent on change) instead of an ssh
  login every 5 s; a silent stream gives no verdict after 12 s.
- NA Ingest's own session is read twice a second (was every 2 s).
- MIDI links show a drop after 1 s (was 3 s); everything redraws twice a
  second (was once).
