Wired midi is a balanced current loop running at 19.2kbps. For obvious
reasons, low latency is extremely important and noise is intolerable.
These two are big reasons why wireless implementations are expensive.

I hate MIDI cables--I mean I REALLY hate them. I
trip over them, they get
tangled up in my chair and I'm afraid the dog will eat them.
Heard of a MIDI
patch-bay? :D I recently bought a USB Midisport 8x8/S. Love
it. At least it helps aggregate where the cables go to.
I've seen a couple of wireless MIDI adaptors,
but since they're low-volume
items, they're freakishly expensive. Does anyone have any ideas or
experience with a low-budget wireless MIDI setup?
From vague foggy probably incorrect memory - isn't the baud rate on midi
ports/cables unusually high - far higher than typical serial ports? I wonder
if this is why it's not available commonly?
