Good proposal Tim, But I suspect the MIDIphiles will accept only raw unadulterated MIDI, plus the ability to Send MIDI too, much like VST. I mean, sure we could just say, you can have a raw MIDI connection. My main fear, is that people will use it to bypass the host-based MIDI conversion, then bitch that the whole system is 'broken', because the two systems don't integrate smoothly. I don't know...
