I think MIDI software will go away before MIDI hardware. When you run softsynths, you're still using MIDI to control them, even if it's only internally.
The trend I'm seeing is MIDI over other cables. There was a Roland rackmount unit that came out last year that used USB for MIDI. My 8x8 MIDI interface uses USB between the computer and interface. The only big problem with MIDI is speed. At one instruction per microsecond, it doesn't take much to get audibly detectable latency.

Your mileage may vary.
i saw this thing at NAMM and wasnt too impressed
it's too big and clunky
im more looking forward to getting a Powerbook, loading it up with software and using and additional USB/MIDI keyboard if i need to
much smaller and the keyboard can be added at any time
sorry, i dont see this thing getting too far

Software isn't against you. Wow... sometimes, I wonder about you. Softysynths are not coming to ST.LOUIS to take your synthpop stardom from your town....Originally posted by David Vesel

Gee.... If you don't like it, don't use it. Many of us use softsynths and we got great results. MLAN is not a trend. USB on keyboard is not a trend. Linking softsynths over ethernet isn't a trend. They have been happening for few years.
Problem with midi is not latency!!! It is data throughput...
Midi was originally designed to handle 0-127volume, 0-127pan, 45 controller assignments include wheel, bend, velocity, aftertouch,
and many others..... ON/OFF NOTE information and 0-127 of 0and1 aren't BIG DATA..... There is a reason, WHY they never expanded more than 16 channels per PORT, because that's limit before data will get jamed.
In the future, people want to able to transfer samples over fly,
and rackmount units that are expandable to other external units
without opening the unit, so you can rack your network that shares central ROM/SAMPLES.
That's why new trend started... NOT CONTROLLER data information is getting latency..
If you are getting latency, it is your driver or software, or you didn't setup your system correctly, or your midi interface might be dying.
Things don't go away that fast....Just like vinyls. Some people
will keep on using vinyls, so don't worry or panic...

PLEASE NO MORE \"I am a robot music.\" You are not a robot. Learn to program better like human beings.\"
Electro is House music. If you don\'t like House music, please don\'t put down Electro, because it is trendy to say it. It might suprise you that Electro and House music were invented by Gay Black Americans in the mid 80s. They weren\'t invented by the beatless people who like to coin new trendy phrases.
I am so tired of \"I want to be Depeche Mode or Erasure for the last 25 years.\" I hope I am not the only one. 25 years is a quarter of century and about a 1/3 of human life. If a person spends a 1/3 of his or her life having the same tastes, I don\'t know if that person acquired enough information to have an interesting life or has a problem understanding he or she is no longer a teenager.
So called artists who never change, why do you call yourself an artist again?
No doubt! The thing does look cool, but my ibook, mbox, and oxygen8 are just as capable and all fit into my backpack.Originally posted by digitalia

Hey all... I think what Dave is looking for is whatever will replace Steinberg's VST Link. They are using 1 bit of a channel on a digital audio connection between machines to share power for a big networked music LAN. I know that there is going to be good stuff happening in the near future with M-LAN, but we all need to wait and see what pans out.
I don't think we will see any end to our friend, M1D1, anytime soon. I do think there is much left to do there. This synth is as much computer as it is synthesizer. So far it is just a Windows machine with a very cool case and some great, integrated controllers. We'll see what happens by the time it comes out.
In my opinion, the problem with soft synths has been the fact that you never know what hardware is going to be there running the programs once the end user gets them. People use anything from garbage Soundblasters on Dell machines to Lynx cards with Apogee converters on a G4 dual 1gHz.
This board has the advantage of being an excellently spec'ed out PC, but until the synths are coded specifically for the machine, you are still leaving a little more to chance than in a "hardware" synth. Those things may be software, but they are in a highly customize hardware environment.
