Notthing. Greed and planed obsolescence are here to stay.
> The 8-bit microprocessor on a 1983 synth has problems keeping up with the rapid-fire data that spews relentlessly from the supercomputer-grade machine controlling it, and bad things happen as a result.

Whats to be done? Patch the software to rate limit the transmission of midi frames. This is a giant nothing burger.

Whole lot of pedantry which says the same thing I said - fix the code.
When a person doesn’t understand how Midi works (i.e. bytes vs frames in your case or speed in TFA’s author’s case), a person can’t fix the code without recognizing and accepting their ignorance.

There’s a protocol and it’s in a standard.
