And about the two APIs: why not? If you think about
it thorroughly I'm sure
one can come up with a protocol, of which MIDI is a subset. Thus some
interaction between to apps (one using MIDI, one using the new thing) could be
possible.
The entire keyboard/synth industry has been trying to do that for a
decade now, and only now it's beginning to take shape (MIDI 2.0).
There's just so much cruft in MIDI 1.0 that it's hard to extend it
without breaking it.
