Thanks, Gene!

I think the strongest effort to replace MIDI-1, is OSC. OSC-over-Ethernet
seems the common transport, and it doesn't seem to have a maximum transport
speed or rigid timing like MIDI does. There is an HD-MIDI out there but it
still appears to be mostly in the process of seeking to be used. But just
now I was not able to find a single 88-key weighted controller with OSC.
Hopefully in the near future.
