"...and will cost you ~ $88 to acquire."
My addition.

midi.org is a kind of $$ machine, if you ask me.
They still sell midi 1.0 specifications - hard to believe.
20 years of income for 1 week of work ?
http://www.midi.org/store/docsales.php

I really should open a specification store myself, looking at that.
Maybe LV2 was more successfull, if it would be sold for $88 - ha,ha.

FLOSS poeple - let's rather ignore GMPI as long as we can.
