This doesn't necessarily involve driver development specifically, but I thought some folks on this list would be interested to know that Friday at Microsoft's Build 2014<http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build> event, we announced a preview Windows Runtime API for MIDI device I/O. This provides Windows Store apps access to MIDI devices. You can view the //build/ session at http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2014/3-548 MSDN page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn643522.aspx NuGet package http://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.WindowsPreview.MidiRT/ All feedback is welcome.
