In an interview with Ben Rogerson from MusicRadar, this is what he said about MIDI. 

MIDI is one of the most stable computer protocols ever written.

MIDI saved my life, I come from the days of the Roland MicroComposer, typing numbers, and dealing with Control Voltages. I was really happy when I managed to have eight tracks of sequencer going.

From the word go, I thought MIDI was fabulous.
