I think there should be a generic control/message passing protocol. I think XML is a good way to go, but it's not of incredible importence. The main reason I think we need such a protocol is for MIDI-like data that is outside the constraints of the MIDI protocol (floating point data or other complex info). MIDI is very powerful, but it is also very restrictive in some ways. Just a thought. I don't know much about these subjects. -Arthur PS: I'll help code parts of this when it comes time. Just tell me what is needed.
