Sorry. If you want real-time sample input, MIDI just can't deliver. MIDI is ~30K baud. That'll give you 3K samples/sec, or 1500 Hz. Oh well. I still believe that a good, cheap SCSI data IO device could be easily built. Let's see... SCSI transceiver, cheap 8-bit CPU (or even a 68K), 256K IO buffer, memory control, and a slot to insert your favorite card(s).
