+9. MIDI function
+================
+
+The function is provided by usb_f_midi.ko module.
+
+Function-specific configfs interface
+------------------------------------
+
+The function name to use when creating the function directory is "midi".
+The MIDI function provides these attributes in its function directory:
+
+       buflen          - MIDI buffer length
+       id              - ID string for the USB MIDI adapter
+       in_ports        - number of MIDI input ports
+       index           - index value for the USB MIDI adapter
+       out_ports       - number of MIDI output ports
+       qlen            - USB read request queue length
+
+Testing the MIDI function
+-------------------------
+
+There are two cases: playing a mid from the gadget to
+the host and playing a mid from the host to the gadget.
+
+1) Playing a mid from the gadget to the host

+
+The from_gadget.mid should sound identical to the to_host.mid.
+The from_host.id should sound identical to the to_gadget.mid.
+
+MIDI files can be played to speakers/headphones with e.g. timidity installed
+
+$ aplaymidi -l
+ Port    Client name                      Port name
+ 14:0    Midi Through                     Midi Through Port-0
+ 24:0    MIDI Gadget                      MIDI Gadget MIDI 1

+128:1    TiMidity                         TiMidity port 1
+128:2    TiMidity                         TiMidity port 2
+128:3    TiMidity                         TiMidity port 3
+
+$ aplaymidi -p 128:0 file.mid
+
+MIDI ports can be logically connected using the aconnect utility, e.g.:
+
+$ aconnect 24:0 128:0 # try it on the host
+
+After the gadget's MIDI port is connected to timidity's MIDI port,
+whatever is played at the gadget side with aplaymidi -l is audible
+in host's speakers/headphones.
