I'm not convinced that this system provides full MIDI compatibility. If it
does it will be such much alike MIDI that it won't be able to support
the features some want without really being two seperate protocols..

I'm happy with MIDI for my usage, but I agree that another protocol
might be better for another usa case. Why not support several control
protocols?

I might get equally frustrated with not getting clear arguments as to why
having more than one protocol for instrument control is a problem.
