Let's replace MIDI at last, after 40 years of holding us all back. Today, it is not limited to a slow serial link, let's tunnel the data through the higher speed S/PDIF or Toslink interfaces, capable of 1.5Mbps. Just don't listen to the stream as a sound. Or send over raw UDP packets, whatever.
At this moment, N00N is mostly a real-time oriented, one-way, general encapsulation protocol. There is room to define almost anything, even encapsulate MIDI if you wanted, but there is also support for compression.
While MIDI represents music performances with a lot of "discrete events" that describe state changes (like a press or release of a key), N00N is stateless and represents the complete state of the devices, all the time, allowing for "a certain amount of losses" that makes it more resilient.
