message: The Reference n.9 doesn't work, the correct link is "https://www.midi.org/midi-articles/historical-early-midi-documents-uncovered" but I don't know how to fix it! Bonny2 (talk) 22:55, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

message: Does the recent MIDI 2.0 standard have the capability to include and control not just digital musical instruments but also digitally generated singing (e.g. Vocaloid, Cevio)? Considering the large role of japanese electronic industry in MIDI standardization it would make sense, since the formant synthesis based digital singing is mainly a japanese (especially Yamaha) phenomenon. The article says nothing about it, so maybe it could be clarified. 158.88.16.2 (talk) 15:39, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Musical Instruments-Only Digital Interface still in the version 2? 

message: I decided to rearrange the wording in the MIDI definition section. The wording was way too technical that most likely people who are new to understanding or are currently learning about it would not understand. I tried my best to keep all the citations necessary in that section and I also decided to add a new section. Recording before MIDI for some odd reason. Other than that the entire article should be changed to where people who are looking at this would understand. At the moment there are a select group of people who would understand it. It doesn't have to be too technical but just technical enough for people to understand what this is and be able to apply it. Eshaywood1 (talk) 22:45, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Changes to MIDI 

message: I decided to add in two subheadings or just headings under MIDI. I added in the Universal Packet because it is important to know how many bits are being used and interchanged throughout making the music. I also added in more information on the Property exchange. Property exchange is what allows the information to do what it needs to do. I allows the technology to read through other technology so that its is easier to communicate with one another. The sources used come from the association themselves so that should be a viable source since it is coming from them. I added the same cite where I put information and I also did my best to give a example. Eshaywood1 (talk) 21:54, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adding information into MIDI 2.0  

message: In every interview made to David Smith he says the idea was floating around in the industry at the time and even in one he tells he spearheaded the MIDI concept.
This article seems to suggest it was Kakehashi who originated the idea so I wonder what's the truth.
Gonna search for patents and in google scholar for similar concepts to see how innovative the idea really was. Mirad1000 (talk) 13:10, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Idea of MIDI 

message: Why are you using that horribly blurred image (Synth_rack_@_Choking_Sun_Studio.jpg)? It's completely unacceptable. Use *anything* else than that (as long as it's in focus, and is something to do with MIDI). 2601:600:8500:6A40:55CD:E3E9:F648:C8DF (talk) 07:53, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a focus issue but not noticeable until you expand the image. I think "horribly blurred" is an exaggeration. But, if anyone has a specific replacement suggestion, go ahead and post it here. ~Kvng (talk) 17:10, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed - it's not blurry at all until expanded. Rather than expect others to change something you don't like, it is far more constructive to change it yourself. Jtrevor99 (talk) 18:07, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

message: I was bothered by the original schematic. So I did some thought and tweaking and made a much more simplified one, that doesn't bother with particularities of the connector (cause really now can use either DIN or TRS and only 3 pins are important, which I'm calling "Hot" (H), "Cold" (C), and "Shield" (S) for ease of abbreviating), doesn't bother with diode or opto-isolator part numbers, and doesn't bother with particular voltage values (e.g. can use 3.3 V instead of 5 V) or resistor values (which will depend on voltages), and moved technical specific details into footnotes.
Similarly I changed the GM Drum Map to be much more space efficient. And I made a few other simplifications.  For instance, TRS has been part of the standard for five years (added in 2018 and now it is end of 2023), so I incorporated that a little better. I will avoid doing edits for the next week or so to let this page settle if others want to tweak/review. Em3rgent0rdr (talk) 19:57, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
