Great things to look forward to -- but remember that they would have to be worked into the musical gear itself, the original reason for MIDI in the first place (long before personal computers entered the picture). As far as computers go, high bandwidth data transfer is a piece of cake, but can that be shrunk down and be made affordable in synthesizers so that they could communicate with each other without an intervening computer "server" to handle the high bandwidth?

I would imagine that by the arbitrary date you picked out of the air, it will all be possible! I am eager to see how it all evolves!

Perhaps a protocol that is not serial for starters. And higher resolution is something to look forward to. With the proliferation of high-bandwidth data transfer protocols, I wouldn't much doubt that the industry will move to either a reworked MIDI or some other standard before 2030. But whether or not the industry moves to a different standard or not, there are and will be other protocols available that seek to improve on MIDI 1.0.

MIDI 1.0 is extremely functional, but it can certainly be improved on.

Do you have any concept of what might replace MIDI?

As Hal suggested, that will work, but be sure that the bass sax part has its
own instrument defined (using or not the same MIDI channel of the other sax
parts), otherwise you will end up with all the sax parts transposed one
octave down.
[Maybe that silly behaviour will be fixed in Finale 2030 when MIDI is
extinct and buried.]

Herman:

You can set the transposition as Klaus has suggested, or you could
leave the transposition as you have it and put a blank note-attached
expression at the beginning and set the MIDI transposition to -12.

Anyone know how to get an accurate playback of a bass sax part
without writing it an octave lower?
