Stable Audio: Fast Timing-Conditioned Latent Audio Diffusion

Your example of the failures of MIDI are based on a 35-year old paper (from 1988!!!) about an earlier version of MIDI?

When that paper was written it took several weeks and many millions of dollars of equipment to render primitive, mono-color 3d graphics. Desktop computers had 512 kilobytes of RAM and the highest-end desktops 32 MB of hard drive storage space. Computer screens had two colors: black and green. Audio cards capable of making beeps and clicks were the cutting-edge. WIFI was still a decade away.

You clearly didn't read the article, and clearly don't understand how prevalent the MIDI 1.0 specification is today. MIDI 2.0 is a very recent development (this year LOL!) and has yet to be commercially adopted. The 1984 design is what is largely in use today.

MPE, which is the model for the most important part of MIDI 2.0, has been around for several years now; there are numerous software synths (and a few hardware ones) that can use it, and several hardware controllers ("instruments") that can deliver it.
