One area where MIDI has caused no end of confusion is in the world of pipe
organs.  There being no standard way to handle organ stops has led to
manufacturers and hobbyists creating many, many ways to represent this
information in standard MIDI files.  A co-conspiritor and I have a suite
of utilities that we use to read files, translate the organ stop controls
into a common format and then translate them again in whatever stop
control scheme the target organ uses.  This allows us to move sequences
from Dutch band organs to calliopes to church organs to orchestrions, to
theatre organs, etc.  It's not always perfect but gives a place to start
from for tweaking the file.

No links at present, but maybe later.  I'm working on another MIDI project
as well using hardware from ucapps.de
