It is now at least 15 years past due for a new, far

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.
