Thats an interesting  idea, but along that same line 'that exp port project' (can't recall at the moment) seems like it should open up alot more; midi over ethernet maybe?
EDIT: ENIO is the Expo Port project, way cool!

After everything that's been said about it, I wouldn't risk anything on MIDINES, personally.

I've been considering routing MIDI to my NES via the USB CopyNES I have installed, but I still have other projects on my plate, so I don't know if I'll ever get around to that.

There are complaints all over the net about him. If you can find one on Ebay well go for it. But to me I don't want yo encourage that guy at all. I got off on a rant in another thread about him, he had posted about his plans for a 2.0. I didn't find the post till after 6 mo, so I don't know if he will ever see it, but I just saw RED seeing his words.
There is another project that's just starting to bear fruit, Chip Maestro. as well as NESserial that's a little more DIY.
Best of luck
