Oh my...  I never noticed a 3.5mm MIDI jack before...  Is this a new standard?   Is it intended to support the full MIDI set of messages (PCs, CCs, sysex, etc.) or only a subset (PCs, hold)?

3.5 mm jacks for MIDI I/O have been around a while and gaining ground. Its used on products from Arturia, and  IK Multimedia)

It saves PCB space and the smaller hole in the chassis means easier to pass FCC emissions tests
