Developer Blog: MIDI on OpenBSD

==================================================[ START ]====

Some time ago, there was a huge MIDI-related commit from Alexandre Ratchov (ratchov@). He has summarized his work in a new installment of OpenBSD Journal’s developer blog.

MIDI is for electronic musical instruments what Ethernet is for
computers. It is a slow (3125 bytes/s) unidirectional point-to-point
serial link between keyboards, synthesizers, hardware multitrackers and
so on. MIDI is aimed to allow one piece of equipment to control another one, possibly
making all of them cooperate on the same (typically music-related)
project. For instance, MIDI keyboards can send notes to
play to a synthesizer in real-time; or a hardware multitracker can send clock ticks
to a drum machine to stay in sync. The protocol is real-time, which
simply means that messages have to be executed as soon as they are
received, there are no timestamps involved.

Please read on for the rest of Alexandre’s story:
