I need to communicate via MIDI both with a PIC and with other MIDI 
devices from an embedded Linux world.  Its UARTs are cabable of:

14.7456M/16*29 = 31779
14.7456M/16*30 = 30720

MIDI spec says 31250 +-1%.  My error is 1.7%, Is this close enough?

I figure this problem can't be new, but I'm finding very little info 
about it on the net. Some sites hint that an error of up to 3% is OK 
with certain MIDI devices.  I wonder if anyone has real-world 
experience with this.

Any advice appreciated,

darren
