Hello Matthew,

Windows doesn’t support user-mode drivers for custom MIDI hardware;
only Kernel Streaming (usbaudio.sys or a third-party driver) and Bluetooth 
MIDI are supported.

Unlike audio drivers, kernel-mode MIDI ones are not always suitable.
MIDI is used to control a wide range of scenic equipment (spotlights,
smoke machines etc.), and there are some applications to create
programs for them. So it could be interesting to create a translating
driver to interface such applications with non-MIDI equipment.

Regards,
Eugene
