[sdiy] MIDI output current and MIDI-driven gadgets

[grant musictechnologiesgroup.com]

Not sure about the written spec, but around the release time of the MIDI 2.0 spec there were several videos on youtube from MIDI.org and/or it's contributors. One thing that stood out to me was the comment that even "basic microcontrollers these days have Ethernet built-in" (similar to how MCUs at MIDI 1.0 time had UARTs). I thought that was a bit of a stretch, but it shows you the MIDI.org philosophy. I don't think they are interested in a new physical layer beyond an Ethernet jack. USB was/is already a supported thing.

Also I assume by now that everyone is aware that you can get a perpetual Sys Ex ID starting at $240 USD.

MIDI 2.0 officially came out a few years ago, I downloaded and did a
cursory read-through of the spec, there's much faster data transfer
now but I forget if it's through USB (UGH!) or what.
