I was really looking forward to start playing around with USB MIDI
interfaces to control my synth and maybe even do really creative stuff
the other way around. Just imagine being able to play on your synth
(or any other device with MIDI output) and generate sound or graphics
in a <canvas> web application or so!
It may be possible to address these use cases using an API based
approach in the future, which will be better than the element based
approach of <device>, but at this stage it is better to keep things
simple and focus on just audio and video for now.
