But I like that idea, a lot. Maybe some
enterprising LAD people could
get together and spec something like a midi interface running over
firewire, complete with the repeaters so it can be daisy-chained just
like midi can be, and hopefully release it into the PD as a new midi-2
interface standard. And design it such that it never, ever gets into
the snails trail of the 31,250 baud interface it uses today.
MIDI over IEEE-1394 (aka firewire) exists and is spec'ed by the MMA
midi-consortium as an official standard. Unlike other publications from
the MMA, this is a free download:
