No MIDI Support for Windows 8 Tablets?

Update 6/19/12: The Microsoft Surface Pro should have MIDI as it will run Windows 8 Pro.

This one in via Sanjay. You can see the discussion on MSDN here. via anon30524 in that thread:

"While I'm sure you understand the repercussions of this, I will point it out to others viewing this who may not.

No Midi Support in Metro == No Midi support on any Windows 8 ARM devices

MIDI will still work in Windows 8 Desktop (x86/x64) in non-metro apps using the following to legacy Win32 APIs:

MME API (Written for Windows 3.0 in 1991)

DirectMusic API (Written for Win 95 in 1996)

I hope that you haven't frozen the API for Windows 8 and there is still a chance for MIDI Support. A new MIDI API would be great. Why you didn't write one when you created WASAPI in Vista is beyond me. I can acknowledge that this is probably a lot of work and it is late in the Windows 8 development cycle, however, this is not your only choice. You are already making some Win32/COM APIs available in Metro. Why not add the MME MIDI APIs to this list?

One only has to look at the iPhone/iPad to look at all the wonderful MIDI music apps possible. Windows 8 ARM device users should be able to enjoy the same type of apps.

I encourage anyone interested in Audio or MIDI to post a reply to this thread and show Microsoft that you want MIDI Device Support in Metro."


And via Apple Insider:

"The president of Microsoft's Windows unit, Stephen Sinofsky, has again pointedly clarified that new ARM tablets running Windows 8 next year won't actually run existing Windows apps for PCs."

If any Microsofties out there have more info on this, feel free to send it in. No MIDI pretty much means any Windows 8 Tablet is dead in the water for many of us, leaving the iOS and Android based tablets it for now. This would be a really poor choice for Microsoft. It will limit the market and limit free publicity with musicians that would otherwise use the tablet.
