I, for one, am excited for the upcoming VGMusic renaissance.What springs to mind when I say "MIDI," gerbils? Is it perhaps thoughts of an old Gravis Ultrasound or Sound Blaster AWE? Expensive Roland synthesis hardware? Perhaps you're actually a musician who still uses the Musical Instrument Digital Interface to this day.

i dont know if its going to be a new standard for general MIDI or if its just an interface thing but either way the possibilities are incredible
