MIDI isn't really that hard. I call it easy by design. The hardware is a
simple current loop that signals serially at 31250 BPS with a standard 8N1
format. The seemingly odd bit rate matches well with standard microcontroller
frequencies because it's exactly 1/32 of 1 Mhz so it's easy to generate
exactly.

A bried rundown can be found here:
