There are other use cases for MIDI that don't
involve soft synths, or
even don't involve music at all. What I find laughable is the arrogance
of pretending that everybody fits a single use case.
I didn't follow this thread, I randomly read this. While MIDI can be
used as an interface for non-music-things, jackd is an application for
music usage. There are many issues with MIDI and I hope coders for music
applications focus to optimize music application's MIDI for music usage
and nothing else.
If you like to use MIDI as a serial interface for something else, then I
won't call it MIDI, but RS foo. You for sure won't take care about the
MIDI protocol, e.g. running status, active sensing, _normal_ data vs
SysEx etc., pp., but this is MIDI for and music software can't take care
about other serial interface use cases.
