yeah, great... "protocol negotiation" lol... this wants to be OSC 2.0 or maybe just everything to everyone?

See, MIDI has an elegant simplicity in that you can connect 1 stupid wire (either pin 2 or 3, IIRC) to your micro-controller and before you can even say "debounce" you can be triggering envelopes...

MIDI, as in normal old-assed MIDI is low-level.

Look, I get it! if ONLY we had the full 8 bits for CC's instead of only 7, etc...

The temptation to "improve and update everything" results in the crap 2020 software engineering artifacts that we leave as our legacy: firmly reminding eternity about just how far we believed that modern trendy habits are always the best for everyone always in everything...

I would have joked about making your "profiles" in XML, but then as we know it's 2020 so that would be JSON, lol...
