Feel free to send me an email to ask about those :)
It's my opinion that midi is something to be left at the outside edge, so
something for the host and not the plugin to deal with.
There are so many things about midi that frustrate me when I have to implement
it in a plugin, because it was designed for streaming. We here have the
chance to create a nice way for a host and a plugin to communicate, I suggest
we take that chance.
Unless you want to make plugins that process midi, of course. But I don't see
the need for that, other than to accomodate developers who have a lot of
current code based on midi. I for one will be happy to write new code that
doesn't use midi and throw the old code out without a second glance.
