Well that depends on how you define large scale data transfers FOR midi
devices, what I meant to say was, properties were not implemented so one could
route a whole midi stream through them.
On the other hand you are totally right, properties are just a small top-level
protocol for accessing data in the miniport, so it should do just fine.

Node or Pin Properties by either using predefined properties or
defining custom properties. This seems to be a valid solution,
but it certainly wasn't intended for large scale data transfers.
Well, that's not really the case. Remember that the KS property
mechanism is a very thin shell over the IOCTL_KS_PROPERTY ioctl.
It's just spelled a bit differently from DeviceIoControl.
On the other hand, you don't ever really do "large scale data
transfers" in a MIDI device.
