    tangent/feedback about the product: replacing abandoned desktop apps with a webapp with unknown future does not exactly excite me. Bundle this as a desktop app that works offline-first and you'll pique more interest.

    Nice retro-demo/motivation for "what's the point of protocols/abstraction layers"[0].

    Use case argument for an add-on programmable logic array / micro controller board as security interface / non-standard to standard protocol translation.

      We just throttle the Web MIDI stream in JS with 100ms pauses between packets so the 8-bit CPU doesn't choke.

    I had the opposite problem where using my (recent-ish) cheap midi keyboard with WebMidi was crashing Firefox.

      That's usually caused by cheap controller firmware flooding the connection with continuous Active Sensing signals (0xFE bytes every 300ms) or noisy clock jitter.
