Who needs a MIDI input? Not me.
Me neither.
Both my current interfaces have MIDI and not once since I've owned them has anything been plugged into them. The last time I used MIDI was, from memory, 2001 and even then I was helping out somebody else rather than using it for my own stuff.
If you need MIDI, (as opposed to MIDI on USB) then make sure you buy a box that handles it--but it's far from a universal requirement.
(Ironically, I'd love to have a game port on my general use computer...so I could plug in my pedals and yoke for my flight sim programme!)
