Which is in bad need of a major overhaul itself as I stated. What I'd like
to see is a new protocol statement prepared and an RFQ issued, so that the
whole industry could continue to 'stay on the same page'.
And I just discovered that you sent it privately, but kmail filtered on the
address and put it in the LAD folder. No matter.
At the same time, I don't really have a working oar in this discussion, its
more of a comment along the lines of not seeing history repeat some of its
uglier mistakes over the last 75 years I have been observing it. ;-)
Take Care Paul.

It is now at
least 15 years past due for a new, far faster, and more
expressive protocol. Something based on the TOS connector or similar
relatively inexpensive hardware interface that can handle 100x midi's
traffic on a single, daisy chain-able connection. I'd suggest 1394B, but
in a setup and tear down every night scenario, I don't see that as being
as rugged as a plastic optical fiber.
uhmmm ... MIDI over USB or MIDI over ethernet is as flexible and fast
as what you suggest, and already exist. The transport and physical
layer aspects of MIDI are already going away. What remains is the
actual message format and contents.
