... Ethernet OSC communication for Patching translators (to Live or not) will be a near future develop work in controller developers... Look at Arduino comunity, monome, stribe, Lemurs and so on... (I love midi and I need it but the future is being clear... seems like USB 3 will be arrive later) Stanton with Firewire is a "similar" approarch... The corps are developing closed protocols for leaving midi to give their controllers more resolution and high speed response. Midi without translators is cool too and it seems out there are people working on doing HIDs Firmware to becoming native Midi plug&play units... but if anybody needs maxmsp (or pd) patches midi is still afordable too :) Core stm32 could work with Ethernet? and Firewire? Sorry about the noob question but I'm noob to stm32 and I'm not sure about its expandability... Thanks! ...
