MIDI

Why so mean? You can look at all of the commits and see that the same dev who has been writing these drivers and apps pretty much single handedly has been making commits on the site for the past few years. https://github.com/microsoft/MIDI/commits/main/docs You can even PR fixes if you want to show off your web dev skills.

With a caveat, even though most of us have stop caring about WinRT stuff, that is still how some APIs in Windows 11 are now being made available, with the difference of still being WinRT, without the UWP infrastructure around it. Example, the new MIDI subsystem, https://github.com/microsoft/midi

They are saying they've opened repo for the new version of the Windows MIDI subsystem – https://github.com/microsoft/midi They couldn't legally open it until now due to the MIDI Association's NDA.

Summary of article: The MIDI 2.0 standard has been under development. The standards body which develops it has the rule that all standards development happens behind closed doors, under NDA, but the NDA is lifted when the final version of the standard is formally published. Microsoft has been working on a new version of the Windows MIDI subsystem to support MIDI 2.0. Microsoft wanted to open source it, but until now couldn't due to the NDA. Now the standard is published, Microsoft is legally allowed to change the repo from private to public – https://github.com/microsoft/midi – and this blog post is to announce they've done that.

Man, I'm afraid to get banned by opening a GitHub issue but the usb driver looks bad. AMEI themselves wrote a clean Windows interfacing portion of the driver. But they copy and pasted a MIDI driver meant for Arduinos for message parsing The code formatting is awful. you can't even follow nesting of if statements properly in some places https://github.com/microsoft/MIDI/blob/main/src/usb-driver/U... https://github.com/microsoft/MIDI/blob/main/src/usb-driver/U... https://github.com/microsoft/MIDI/blob/main/src/usb-driver/U... https://github.com/microsoft/MIDI/blob/main/src/usb-driver/U... Not something I ever want to see in a OS Vendor endorsed and probably soon distributed by default USB Driver lol
